As part of the newly approved reorganization structure, the NIH Office of Defensive Counterintelligence and Personnel Security (ODCPS) Division of Personnel Security and Access Control (DPSAC) is in the process of updating its division title to the "Division of Personnel Security (DPS)." Thank you for your patience as we update our new title across communications and websites at NIH. This process will take time as we ensure all references remove our former division title​ and reflect our new name and acronym.

To prepare for your DPS appointment, please see the Approved Identifications Document to know what IDs are accepted to make your visit smoother. It is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes earlier onto campus to go through security screening. Please visit our Contact page​ for more information on each of our DPS offices.
