retired military personnel, make sure you refer to the
Entitlement Guide section of the BUPERSINST
1750.10 to determine which privileges to authorize.
DD Form 1172
Before a DD Form 1173 can be issued to eligible
dependents, an Application for Uniformed Services
Identification Card/DEERS Enrollment, DD Form
1172, is required. DD Form 1172 must be completed
according to the guidelines set forth in BUPERSINST
1750.10.
If you are working in the ID Card section of a
PERSUPPDET that has access to DEERS, you will be
able to prepare the DD Form 1172 using the RAPIDS
computer and subsequently issue the DD Form 1173
directly to the recipient. If you are attached to a
command that does not have a RAPIDS computer, you
will be required to use a floppy disk to prepare this form
and a printer.
Always make sure you verify eligibility by
checking appropriate documents in the member’s
service record. You are reminded that the Emergency
Data/Dependency Application, NAVPERS 1070/602,
and, if appropriate, the Dependency Action Status,
NAVCOMPT 3072, are not acceptable for determining
ID card eligibility of dependents. You should always
verify such documents as marriage contract, birth
certificates, and/or other legal documents that establish
the relationship between the member and the
dependents.
If information required to determine
eligibility for issuance of ID cards is missing from the
service record, it is the responsibility of the service
record holder and the member concerned to obtain these
documents.
ID cards for dependents of retired personnel may
be obtained at the nearest PERSUPPDET, provided the
dependents are enrolled in DEERS. Personnel at the
PERSUPPDETs are able to verify whether or not
dependents are enrolled in DEERS by using the
RAPIDS computer.
If the dependents are not enrolled in DEERS
because they were recently acquired, you must enter
them in the DEERS using the RAPIDS computer. If
you are tasked with issuing ID cards for these
dependents, make sure you ask for and examine the
following appropriate documents:
