New implementation date to register with DBIDS Published Sept. 13, 2011 By 78th Security Forces Squadron ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The new implementation date for the Defense Biometric Identification System is Oct. 1. Those not registered must do so now in order to remain eligible for base access. To do so, go to the Visitor Control Center or the Smith Center, to register into the system. If you have previously registered, it is unnecessary to register again unless you have received a new ID card or if a gate guard informs you that you need to register. The DBIDS system has the capability to track how many times an unregistered individual attempts to gain access. People who frequently attempt to enter while not being registered will be sent directly to the VCC to register. Being registered decreases wait times for motorists at the gates. The VCC and Smith Center will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Following are the locations and times when individuals can register: Visitor Control Center (Bldg. 219) Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 6:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Wednesdays from 6:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Smith Center (Bldg. 767) Mondays through Fridays, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, contact Staff Sgt. Crystal Kesey at DSN 472-1992 or 478-222-1992 or the Visitor Center at DSN 472-1969 or 478-222-1969.
