If you receive an e-mail from DMDC.CAC.Replacement.Notification@osd.pentagon.mil notifying you that your Common Access Card must be replaced, do not delete. This e-mail is not a hoax. Contact your servicing ID Cards Office for reissue of your CAC.
As of Feb. 2, the 786th Force Support Squadron ID Cards Office has been reissuing new CACs to eliminate all 64K and 72K CACs with RSA 1024 bit keys. The new 128K and 144K CACs issued have a 2048 bit encryption key, which is required to support network access later in 2012. Most individuals will already have a new 128K or 144K CAC. Individuals with a 64K or 72K CAC expiring before Oct. 1 will be taken care of through attrition and will not receive a new card any sooner than normal.
All 64K and 72K CAC holders with expiration dates beyond Oct. 1 will receive the above mentioned e-mail from DMDC. Upon receipt of this e-mail, the member should call their servicing ID Cards Office (Bldg. 2106, first floor) at 480-6599 or 06371-476599 and make an appointment.
To verify if your CAC needs to be replaced, you can look on the back of your card. Above the black strip there is a series of numbers. If your CAC shows 64K or 72K, it will need to be reissued prior to Oct. 1.
Note: Any contractor employee who has a “verified” record and expiration date in DEERS, does not need to visit their CVS agent for a new application. Reissue on the current DEERS record is possible.
