trusted traveler

Trusted Traveler

The Trusted Traveler Program is a procedure that allows uniformed service members and dependents (over age 16), DoD employees, and retired uniformed service members and spouses to vouch for occupants inside the vehicle, provided they possess a valid DoD identification card: MCBHO 5532.1 Access Control Order

U.S. government contractors are not eligible to participate in the Trusted Traveler program.

Trusted Travelers are DoD ID card holders, authorized in accordance with the DTM, and must continuously escort their guests while on an installation since their guests have not been properly vetted for unescorted installation access. All personnel authorized to act in a Trusted Traveler capacity are responsible for the actions of their sponsored guests and must ensure they adhere to the Trusted Traveler Program requirements.

1. Authorized individuals (CAC/TESLIN card holders) who have been granted unescorted access can vouch for no more than 5 co-travelers (allows access for guests without going to VCC or registering in DBIDS).

2. The trusted traveler designee is responsible for the actions of all co-travelers while they are on-base.

3. The trusted traveler designee must have sufficient knowledge of the co-travelers to legitimately vouch for their identity, fitness, and purpose. 

4. The trusted traveler (designee) designation is only authorized for persons granted continued unescorted access who have been identity proofed, received a favorable fitness determination, have a valid purpose for access, and possess an approved DoD or federal privilege card. 

5. Persons in possession of a DBIDS credential or pass are NOT authorized trusted traveler privileges.

6. Foreign Nationals and foreign visitors are NOT authorized to sponsor or escort others. 

7. Lyft, Uber and other taxi/ride share drivers cannot access the Base as trusted travelers.

Trusted Travelers may be subject to administrative or punitive action for violating this policy in the event their guests are found anywhere on the installation without their sponsor. Guests found without their respective sponsor are subject to administrative action or criminal prosecution and will be escorted off the installation. In addition, installation commanders may revoke an individual’s privilege to escort guests under the Trusted Traveler Program and debar guests from the installation.

Common Trusted Traveler violations include:

  • Dropping off a guest, including unvetted contractors, at a location on base without their sponsor e.g., Marine Corps Exchange, MCCS facilities, restaurants, or contractor work sites.

  • It is also against the Trusted Travel Program to escort a former Marine or anyone else who is debarred from any military installation (Persona non Grata) onto the installation.

  • Utilizing trusted traveler for multiple day visitors instead of proper guest pass request procedures.

  • Allowing foreign national visitors to enter installation without the proper request procedures.

foreign national sponsorship

Sponsorship Of Unofficial Foreign National (FN) Visitors

Refer all official requests for entrance from representatives of a foreign government, foreign military service, or foreign private interest to the Base Security Manager. Unofficial FN visitors are residents of another country who are visiting the U.S. as a tourist, student, worker, or other reasons not as an official representative of a foreign government. FN government and military personnel not sponsored through the DoD FN Visitor System or on invitation orders are considered unofficial visitors. The following procedures apply for sponsorship of unofficial FN visitors:

  • Permissions Required: Sponsors expecting unofficial FN visitors must provide notice at least 14 business days in advance to the Provost Marshal Office Customer Service Center, B1095, on a Base Access Request Form (MCBH S-7 Form 5532) and require the visitor to pre-enroll in DBIDS (https://dbids-global-enroll.dmdc.mil/preenrollui/#!/). The pre-enrollment code is only valid for 30 days, so be sure to pre-enroll just before you submit your packet. If there are issues with being able to pre-enroll, you must download the site certificates at (https://public.cyber.mil/pki-pke/) and then go back to the pre-enrollment site to get enrolled.  A copy of the visitor’s passport and visa will be submitted with the Base Access Request Form. Entry of FN visitors is contingent upon an invitation from an authorized sponsor, satisfactory vetting, and identity proofing. Sponsorship of FN visitors aboard MCBH is a privilege and the Commanding Officer may revoke or suspend this privilege.

  • Escort Required: Unofficial FN visitors are not authorized unescorted access and the sponsor must always accompany the FN visitor while on base. Sponsors who have FN immediate family members (husband, wife, mother, father, sister, brother, child, or members in loco parentis) as Registered Houseguests are exempt from the escort requirement. Personnel with authorized installation access credentials are prohibited from using their access credentials to transport unofficial FN visitors aboard the installation to circumvent this policy.

  • Restricted Access: Unofficial FN visitors are authorized escorted access to facilities that are open to the general community but are restricted from visiting any operational and/or restricted area aboard the installation.

    • Active-duty foreign military personnel and personnel traveling on a diplomatic passport from the following countries are exempt from biometric enrollment: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and Japan.

    • Active-duty foreign military personnel attending U.S. and partner nation military training or on official visits are exempt from biometric enrollment.

    • Sponsors will ensure that their Unofficial FN Visitor(s) are enrolled in the biometric system at the Visitors Center. Failure to do so will result in the suspension of sponsorship privileges and the immediate removal of the FN from the Base.

Sponsorship Privileges for Foreign Exchange Personnel

Foreign Exchange Personnel (FEP), Foreign Liaison Officers (FLO), and their sponsored accompanying dependents with a U.S. Government CAC and assigned to an MCBH command have unescorted access to MCBH. FEPs and FLOs are authorized to sponsor U.S. Citizens who do not have dual citizenship in another foreign country as personal visitors, for official business, and for deliveries/services to their military family housing residence. FEPs and FLOs may sponsor visiting FN family members in accordance with the procedures outlined in Base Oder 5532.1, Chapter 2, Paragraph 3.

Approved Foreign Visit Requests

Sponsors who host official FN Visitors must obtain re-approval prior to their arrival. Sponsors will provide a copy of the Foreign Visit Request orders or other documentation to the Visitors Center, Bldg. 1637, to issue a temporary visitor pass, not to exceed the length of the exercise, event, or command function.

  • Permanent Resident Card, Alien Registration Receipt Card, or Green Card (Form I-551).

  • Foreign passport with a temporary I-551 stamp or temporary I-551 printed notation on machine-readable immigrant visa.

  • Foreign passport with a current arrival-departure record, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Form I-94 bearing the same name as the passport and containing and endorsement of the alien’s non-immigrant status indicating that status authorizes the alien to work for the employer.

  • Employment authorization document that contains a photograph U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form I-766 and/or electronically verify.

  • In the case of a non-immigrant alien authorized to work for a specific employer, a foreign passport with a Form I-94 or Form I-94A, bearing the same name as the passport, and containing an endorsement of the alien’s non-immigrant status, if the endorsement has not yet expired, and the proposed employment is not in conflict with any restrictions or limitations identified on the form.

veterans' health identification card

Expansion Of Patronage for Certain Veterans and Certain Caregivers for Veterans

The Department of Defense authorizes all service-connected Veterans, Purple Heart recipients, former prisoners of war (POW), and individuals approved and designated as the primary family caregivers of eligible Veterans under the Department of Veterans Affairs Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) to use commissaries, exchanges, and morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) retail facilities, in-person and online.

*Primary caregivers do not have and will not be granted sponsorship privileges.

On your first visit to MCBH, visit the Visitors Center, Building 1637, or the Pass and Registration Office, Camp Smith, and present your Veterans' Health Identification Card (VHIC). The VHIC must identify your eligibility status as Service-Connected, Medal of Honor, Purple Heart, Former POW, or a combination thereof. Veterans not in possession of a VHIC are also authorized to present a VA Health Eligibility Center (HEC) Form H623A and a REAL ID compliant driver’s license or identification card.

Provide a second form of government identification that verifies your social security number (Social Security Card, Taxpayer Identification Number, or Certificate of Naturalization). The clerk will conduct an on-the-spot background check and proceed to register your VHIC card in the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) upon a favorable outcome and ask you to provide required biographical information. This process can take 5 – 10 minutes and when completed, you are successfully registered for Base access.

All base access denials occur per Base Order 5532.1 disqualifiers.  Information on how to obtain a Base Access Waiver will be provided to those individuals that have an unfavorable background check.  Click the Base Access Waiver for more information on how to obtain a Base Access Waiver.

Provost Marshal Office
ATTN: Base Access Waiver Section
Marine Corps Base Hawaii
P.O. Box 63062
Kaneohe Bay, HI 96863-3062

The Provost Marshal Office Base Access Waiver Section will prepare a waiver package, including supporting documentation for the access denial and the applicant's waiver documents, and forward it to the Director, S-7.

The Director, S-7 will conduct an objective evaluation of the validity of the individual’s appeal and consider mitigating factors such as the nature and severity of the offense, the circumstances surrounding the offense, most recent offense, and frequency of the offense, the individual’s age and maturity at the time of the offense, the individual’s effort toward rehabilitation, and other factors before a decision is made. The applicant will receive a written response via mail upon the completion of the waiver process.
