Provost Marshal's Office

The Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Provost Marshal’s Office is located in Building 58 on Virginia Dare Drive, Camp Lejeune.

Administration and Support Services: Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (closed on all federal holidays)
Operations and Investigations: 24/7/365

Emergency: 911
Non-Emergency: See “Directory” section

Unit, activity commanders, and individuals may request to process visitors for command sponsored and individual events via by-name rosters in the Installation Access and Registration Application (IARA). Deployment Readiness Coordinators, designated command representatives or individuals must create an “event” in IARA. See the Sponsor User Guide for instructions.

Command representatives should contact the visitor center prior to creating an event in IARA.

IARA has two websites: a publicly-accessible site for visitors and a CAC-enabled site for sponsors. IARA’s publicly-accessible site enables visitors to request sponsorship in order to access the installation. IARA’s CAC-enabled site verifies the sponsor as a Department of Defense (DoD) ID card holder and provides a means for the sponsor to create special events and manage the roster of visitors. IARA also provides a way for the sponsors to submit rosters to the visitor center.

The visitor center takes the submitted information, conducts the vetting process, and designates each name on the IARA rosters with an approval or denial status. Approved visitors receive a notification via their provided email address with follow-on information and instructions to complete the process.

Homecomings require special attention. Due to the nature and scale of this process, it is important for hosting units to coordinate with the visitor center early.

Follow the below timelines for attendee sponsorship submissions in IARA.

The visitor center will identity-proof and conduct background checks on all requests, and issue DBIDS temporary passes that are valid for up to two weeks.

A unit representative will be provided an area by the visitor center to distribute DBIDS temporary passes to guests on the day of event(s).

Please follow the appropriate timeline for sponsorship requests:

•  1 to 25 people: submit request seven days prior to event date
•  26 to 50 people: submit request 10 days prior to event date
•  51 to 75 people: submit request 15 days prior to event date
•  Over 76 people: submit request 30 days prior to event date

Visitors are directed to report to the Camp Lejeune Visitor Center (Bldg. TT-13) to obtain a DBIDS pass or activate the REAL-ID for access. Visitors will have their identity validated, be subject to a criminal background check (conducted when pre-registered on IARA), be photographed and digitally fingerprinted. Visitors who are driving are required to produce a valid driver’s license, state registration and proof of insurance. Wait times may be lengthy for visitors who do not pre-register using the IARA.

The Contractor Vetting Office (CVO) is located in Building 818, adjacent to the Camp Lejeune Main Gate on Holcomb Blvd. Contractors and other personnel requiring access to MCB Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River must report to the CVO for vetting and background checks. Based on the duration of access, contractors will either receive a DBIDS credential (for access of 61 days or more) or a temporary pass (for access of 60 days or less). The vetting process involves confirming access requirements, completing a background check, and issuing the appropriate credential or pass.

For more detailed instructions and access information, visit https://www.mcieast.marines.mil/CVO/ for additional instructions.

Transportation providers such as taxis, limousines, shuttles and transportation network companies (TNC) provide an important transportation service option for the installation population. Transportation providers who comply with the provisions of this web page may access the installation during FPCON Alpha and Bravo, but will restricted during FPCON Charlie and Delta.

Transportation providers entering the installation on business may be subject to search or other inspections. Provost Marshal‘s Office (PMO) personnel may require proof of a fare through a mobile application, telephone number or other information. Transportation providers entering for other reasons require separate sponsorship and processing. Additionally, transportation providers may not be accompanied by anyone who is not a Department of Defense (DoD) ID card holder.

With a valid Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) credential, enabled for access to MCB Camp Lejeune, transportation providers are permitted to enter the installation with or without a passenger possessing a valid DoD ID card for the purpose of pick up or drop off at an authorized location. Transportation providers may also stage at one of the authorized locations, but are prohibited from canvasing the installation for potential customers.

Without a valid DBIDS credential, transportation providers are permitted to enter the installation only if they are accompanied by a passenger who possesses a valid DoD ID card. After the gate sentry records the driver’s pertinent information, the driver will be permitted to drop the passenger off at the desired location. The transportation provider will then immediately exit the installation at the original point of entry.

Transportation provider companies that wish to operate on MCB Camp Lejeune must submit a Letter of Intent to Operate on company letterhead with the following information and supporting documentation to lejeunetaxiinspector@usmc.mil.

After the letter is evaluated, the company will be informed of the decision. If approved, transportation providers will be instructed to have individual drivers report to the Taxi Inspector on MCAS New River, located at Bldg. AS-187 adjacent to the Main Gate on Curtis Drive, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Transportation providers will be subject to a criminal history background check and are required to provide the following information and supporting documentation:

Any driver who is denied unescorted access in accordance with Marine Corps Installations East-Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCIEAST-MCBCAMLEJ) Order 5530.25B, Access Control Regulations will be denied a DBIDS credential.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2020, MCB Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River welcomed more veterans and caregivers to their installations. Under the Purple Heart and Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018, the DoD is proud to expand patronage to:

•  Purple Heart Recipients
•  Former Prisoners of War
•  Veterans with service-connected disabilities
•  Caregivers enrolled in the VA Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers

----------------------------------------------

Note: Veterans who are Medal of Honor recipients and veterans who have 100% service-connected disability rating and their family members are eligible under a previously established DoD policy.

----------------------------------------------

To access the installation, veterans and caregivers authorized under the Purple Heart and Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018, will need to stop by the Camp Lejeune Visitor Center adjacent the Wilson Gate on Wilson Blvd. or the MCAS New River Visitor Center on Curtis Drive and provide the following information:

Newly eligible veterans and caregivers will have access to many Department of Defense and Coast Guard MWR retail activities, including: entertainment, clubs, recreational lodging/resorts, special interest activities, bowling, golf, restaurants, marinas, equipment rental, movie theaters, vehicle storage, kennels, AmericanForcesTravel.com and more.

A comprehensive list of specific programs and activities that will be authorized for the expanded access groups at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River can be found on the MCCS Lejeune-New River website at http://www.mccslejeune-newriver.com/veterans/.

Facilities, programs and functions not listed are not authorized for use under the Purple Heart and Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act of 2018. Examples of these activities (and therefore NOT authorized) include indoor pools, fitness centers, recreation centers, community counseling, education programs and more. 

All honorably discharged military service veterans have online shopping privileges for the exchanges through the Veterans Online Shopping Benefit.  For more information on how you may enroll, please visit www.VetVerify.org.

For complete details and frequently asked questions, please read the Department of Defense Expanding Access to Military Commissaries, Exchanges and Recreation Facilities Fact Sheet.

To gain access, family members must complete the standard Visitor Control Process at the installation’s Visitor Control Center (VCC) and enroll in the electronic Physical Access Control System (ePACS). A command representative will assist in scheduling an appointment for this process.

The required documentation for enrollment includes either a Report of Casualty (DD Form 1300) issued to immediate family members (spouse, children, parents) listed on the service member’s Record of Emergency Data (DD Form 93), or a valid Gold Star Identification Card issued by any Department of War branch of service. 

Approved family members may receive one of the following access options: a single-day paper pass, a Local Resident Card (LRC), or enrollment in ePACS with an approved credential valid for one year. However, automatic or permanent enrollment across all Marine Corps installations is not authorized, and access must be renewed annually following the same process. Additionally, Trusted Traveler privileges are not extended to Gold Star family members.

If initial screening identifies any concerns, family members have the option to submit an appeal to the Installation Commander for final determination.  Requirements for access to determine identity, background, and purpose can be found in the following references: MARADMIN 535/25 and MCO 5530.13.

To maintain the security and integrity of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River, all foreign national visitors must follow the established sponsorship and vetting procedures before being granted entry. Foreign nationals are not authorized access under the Trusted Traveler Program and must be properly sponsored, vetted, and approved prior to arrival. Sponsors are responsible for ensuring their guests complete all required forms four business days in advance and present valid identification at the gate. These measures help protect the installation, its residents, and mission readiness while ensuring that all visits are conducted safely and in accordance with DoW policy.

• Visitors who are in possession of a valid DBIDS credential are authorized unescorted access.
• If a visitor violates MCB Camp Lejeune orders or regulations, the individual who sponsored the visitor may lose sponsorship privileges either temporarily or permanently.
• A sponsor is any person with a DoD ID card, who invites a visitor to come on MCB Camp Lejeune. Sponsors must be 18 years of age or older.
