Temporary and permanent vehicle decals are issued for military/civilian members and contractors working aboard MCLB Barstow. Personnel reporting for duty must register their vehicles with the Pass and ID section within 30 days of their reporting date. The driver must present a current and valid state registration, driver's license and proof of liability insurance required under California law ($15,000 for injury or death of one person per accident, $30,000 for injury or death of two or more persons per accident and $5,000 for property damage per accident), military ID card or civilian/contractor badge or check-in sheet.
All vehicles are subject to inspection/search upon entering the installation.
All military members aboard the base who are 26-years-old or younger are required to take a Driver's Improvement Course. The Headquarters Battalion S-3 Office coordinates with the Base Licensing Office to conduct classes and issue completion certificates.
In addition to all vehicle registration requirements, motorcycle operators must pass a motorcycle safety course offered by the base's Ground Safety Department prior to the issuance of a decal. Call (760) 577-6457/6969/6371 for more information.
