AF base access changes

Beginning Jan. 30, anyone seeking access onto Eglin (Fla.) Air Force Base with state identifications issued from Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Pennsylvania, or a non-enhanced driver’s licenses from Minnesota and Washington will no longer be authorized access, without providing alternate identification credentials. Individuals who fall under this category, who do not have alternate IDs may be escorted onto the installation. Individuals will no longer be able to access any Air Force installations – including Keesler and Columbus in Mississippi - with a state-issued ID from Minnesota, Missouri, Washington or American Samoa beginning Aug. 15. The change aligns the AF’s installation access policy with requirements of the Real ID Act, which focuses on improving the reliability of state-issued identification documents and helps prevent a person’s ability to evade detection by using a fraudulent form of ID.
