Photocopying of Military Identification Cards
Recent incidents regarding the photocopying of military
identification cards and common access cards (CAC), by commercial
establishments to verify military affiliation or provide government
rates for service, have been reported.
Personnel are reminded that the photocopying of US Government
Identification is a violation of Title 18, US Code Part I, Chapter 33,
Section 701 and punishable by both fine and/or imprisonment.
Many military members, family members and DoD employees are
unaware of this law. Please pass to the lowest level and include in
training for force protection, information security and OPSEC.
FPO COMMENTS: Criminal elements and terrorist organizations place U.S. government
identifications as a high value logistical element when planning acts against the U.S. military.
Although commercial establishments are not prohibited from asking for military/government
identification, many government personnel and commercial establishments are unaware of the
prohibition on duplication of government identification. Unfortunately, there are no safeguards in
place to ensure a government identification card won’t be counterfeited or “cloned” based on a
photocopy by a commercial establishment.
It is recommended that military/DoD personnel provide a state drivers license or other form of
photo identification to be photocopied if an establishment insists on a photocopy of the traveler’s
identification.
*NOTE: This does not apply to medical establishments (i.e. doctor’s office, hospitals, etc…) who
are allowed take a copy for the purpose of filing insurance claims; and other government agencies
in the performance of official government business.
