Individuals with an active badge request can check their badge status via the DPS Status Portal to see where they stand in the background investigation process and what is needed for their badge. Existing NIH PIV card holders may log in directly with their PIV card, while new applicants without a badge will need to create an account using the Login.gov button at the bottom of the portal sign in page. To see screenshots and visual instructions on how to access the DPS Status Portal, feel free to view the DPS Status Portal Guide.
Applicants and employees can also easily submit helpdesk requests through the ServiceNow system!
