Departments and agencies MAY use a supervised remote identity proofing station as described in Section 2.7.1 for the processes involved in the issuance of PIV Cards. This involves the use of an issuer-controlled station at a remote location that is connected to a trained operator at a central location. The goal of this arrangement is to permit issuance to individuals in remote locations where it is not practical for them to travel to the agency for in-person issuance of their PIV credential.
Remote issuance SHALL satisfy all of the requirements of Section 2.8. The issuer SHALL have local trained staff to securely maintain custody of card stock received by the remote station when the station is used for PIV Card issuance.
If biometric data cannot be positively verified per the criteria defined in [SP 800-76], remote issuance SHALL NOT be used and issuance will be performed in person at the issuer’s facility. The trained operator SHALL terminate a remote issuance session and require in-person issuance at an issuing facility if there is reasonable basis to believe 15 that the applicant is attempting to bypass protection capabilities of the station.
