Because of a lapse in government funding, the information on this website may not be up to date, transactions submitted via the website may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted. The NIH Clinical Center (the research hospital of NIH) is open. For more details about its operating status, please visit cc.nih.gov. Updates regarding government operating status and resumption of normal operations can be found at opm.gov.
If an individual has forgotten his/her PIN, the individual will need to reset it. Individuals must visit their local Lifecycle Work Station (LWS) operator or stop by one of DPS's Badge Issuance Stations at the NIH Bethesda Main Campus or one of our off-site locations for assistance. Most Institutes, Centers and Offices (ICOs) have purchased one or more Lifecycle Work Stations (LWS) that will allow their personnel to conveniently update their HHS ID Badge (Smart Card) Digital Certificates and reset their Smart Card PINs at a nearby location rather than make a trip to one of DPS's Badge Issuance stations.
