Affiliate PIV and VA Access Process
You will need to contact your local VARO and see who handles the PIV cards. I would contact the public contact team or ask a fellow CVSO. All the background checks and fingerprinting are accomplished by the VA locally.
If you are unable to access NACVSO POA’s in VBMS contact, your VARO IT department or use the link below to request an addition.
