NIH ID Badge Validation

Does your NIH badge work?

Your NIH ID badge functions as your “key” to the NIH campus for such things as building access, library services, and eventually the perimeter security system. It is important that employees and contractors wear their NIH ID badges at all times and make sure the badge is valid -- up to date and working properly.

To confirm that your NIH ID badge is valid, self-service badge validation stations will be set up in the following building lobbies beginning in late July:

• Building 31A
• Building 45
• Bldg 10 - Clinical Center - B1 Level Hospitality Desk
• Twinbrook II located at 12441 Parklawn Drive
• 6130 Executive Boulevard
• 6700 B Rockledge Drive

Badge validation is easy and will only take a few seconds. Simply wave your badge in front of the card reader at the validation station. A solid green light means your badge is valid and fully functional. A red or flashing light means your badge is not working properly and needs to be reissued.

If your badge needs to be reissued, contact your supervisor or AO who will begin the process for a new badge. Written instructions will also be provided at the badge validation stations.

Watch for future notices about NIH security in NIH publications, global emails and at http://www.security.nih.gov. Still have questions?  Contact the ORS Information Line at orsinfo@mail.nih.gov or 301-594-6677, TTY 301-435-1908.
