Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12)
Validating and Monitoring Agency Issuance of Personal Identity Verification Credentials
HSPD-12 guidance requires that agencies complete background checks on all current employees and contractors and issue Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials. Agencies are required to post to their federal agency public website quarterly reports on the number of PIV credentials issued. The report template used distinguishes between credentials issued to employees, contractors, and others (e.g., visiting scientists). Links to these required quarterly status reports are provided below.
