Houseguest Privileges Requests

House Guests are individuals sixteen (16) or older, who are visiting military members (active duty and retired) who reside on or off MCBH are eligible for this pass. Residents of Oahu do not qualify for House Guest privileges. Sponsors requesting to sponsor a house guest visiting more than 72 hours must submit a House Guest form to the PMO Service Center/Vehicle Registration and MCBH Family Housing Department at least ten (10) working days prior to the visit to allow sufficient time to conduct a security investigation.  These passes are valid for the duration of the visit, not to exceed 30 days, but are renewable. House Guests with passes are not authorized entry to the commissary, nor does it permit purchase of merchandise at MCCS facilities.

If the guest will be staying in on-base housing for 30 or more days, the sponsoring resident must also submit a separate request to the housing office (Ohana Military Communities (Forest City) for PPV residents) through his or her chain of command explaining the visit and requesting permission for the guest to stay at the home for an extended period. Extended visits are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must be for the benefit of the military sponsor or his or her command sponsored dependents. Visits for the benefit of an adult guest will not be approved. Guardianship papers, power-of-attorney, or other legal authorization must be provided for minor guests.

If the security check is satisfactory, the PMO Service Center will notify the sponsor for pick up and the sponsor must hand-deliver the approved security check to the respective Housing Office for approval. If the security check is unsatisfactory, the PMO Service Center will notify the sponsoring resident of no access to MCBH.
