The Personal Identification Number (PIN) on a PIV Card may need to be reset if the cardholder has forgotten the PIN or if PIN-based cardholder authentication has been disabled from the usage of an invalid PIN more than the allowed number of retries stipulated by the department or agency. 14 PIN reset may be performed in-person at the issuer’s facility, at an unattended kiosk operated by the issuer, or remotely via a general computing platform:

+ When PIN reset is performed in-person at the issuer's facility, before providing the reset PIV Card back to the cardholder, the issuer shall perform a 1:1 biometric match to ensure that the cardholder's biometric matches either the stored biometric on the PIV Card or biometric data stored in the chain- of-trust. In cases where a biometric match is not possible, the cardholder shall provide the PIV Card to be reset and another primary identity source document (as specified in Section 2.7). An attending operator shall inspect these and compare the cardholder with the facial image retrieved from the enrollment data record and the facial image printed on the card.

+ PIN reset at an unattended issuer-operated kiosk shall ensure that the PIV Card is authenticated and that the cardholder’s biometric matches either the stored biometric on the PIV Card, through an on- card 1:1 biometric match, or biometric data stored in the chain-of-trust, through an off-card 1:1

14 Cardholders may change their PINs anytime by providing the current PIN and the new PIN values. biometric match. If the biometric match or card authentication is unsuccessful, the kiosk shall not reset the PIV Card.

+ Remote PIN reset on a general computing platform (e.g., desktop, laptop) shall only be performed if the following requirements are met:

o the cardholder initiates a PIN reset with the issuer operator;

o the operator authenticates the owner of the PIV Card through an out-of-band authentication procedure (e.g., pre-registered knowledge tokens); and

o the cardholder’s biometric matches the stored biometric on the PIV Card through a 1:1 on- card biometric comparison.

The remote PIN reset operation shall satisfy the requirements for remote post issuance updates specified in Section 2.9.2.

Departments and agencies may adopt more stringent procedures for PIN reset (including disallowing PIN reset). PIN reset procedures shall be formally documented by each department and agency.

Verification data other than the PIN may also be reset (i.e., re-enrollment) by the card issuer. Before the reset, the issuer shall perform a 1:1 biometric match of the cardholder to reconnect to the chain-of-trust. The type of biometric used for the match shall not be the same as the type of biometric data that is being reset. For example, if fingerprint templates for on-card comparison are being reset, then a 1:1 iris match could be used to reconnect to the chain-of-trust. If no alternative biometric data is available, the cardholder shall provide the PIV Card to be reset and another primary identity source document (as specified in Section 2.7). An attending operator shall inspect these and compare the cardholder with the facial image retrieved from the enrollment data record and the facial image printed on the PIV Card.

New verification reference data shall be enrolled. The PIV Card’s activation methods associated with the verification data shall be reset and the new verification data shall be stored on the card.

Departments and agencies may adopt more stringent procedures for verification data reset (including disallowing verification data reset); such procedures shall be formally documented by each department and agency.
