Can i get a new copy of my cac certificates

The CAC (Common Access Card) is a secure identification card issued by the US Department of Defense (DoD) to military personnel, DoD employees, and other authorized individuals. If you need a replacement CAC certificate, you can follow these steps:

For Active Duty Military and DoD Employees:

1. Contact your unit's IT department or the DoD's Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) to request a replacement CAC.
2. Provide your name, Social Security number, and CAC number (if known) to initiate the replacement process.
3. You may need to provide additional identification or proof of identity to verify your identity.

For Retirees and Veterans:

1. Contact the DMDC's Retiree and Annuitant CAC Replacement Program at (800) 538-9552 or [email protected].
2. Provide your name, Social Security number, and CAC number (if known) to initiate the replacement process.
3. You may need to provide additional identification or proof of identity to verify your identity.

For Contractors and Other Authorized Individuals:

1. Contact your sponsor organization's IT department or the DoD's Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to request a replacement CAC.
2. Provide your name, Social Security number, and CAC number (if known) to initiate the replacement process.
3. You may need to provide additional identification or proof of identity to verify your identity.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure to keep your CAC card and any replacement cards in a secure location to prevent loss or theft.
• If you're unable to obtain a replacement CAC, you may need to use alternative identification methods, such as a government-issued ID or a DoD-issued ID card.
• If you're experiencing issues with your CAC, you can contact the DoD's CAC Help Desk at (800) 247-0585 or [email protected].

Remember to always follow proper procedures and protocols when requesting a replacement CAC to ensure the security and integrity of your identification.
