Title

Derived PIV Issuance Without PIV Card

Control

Some operational situations may motivate the issuance of a derived PIV credential when a PIV Card is unavailable. For example, it may be desirable to:

• Issue a derived PIV credential to a new subscriber in a field location where production facilities for PIV Cards are unavailable

• Issue a derived PIV credential to a cardholder who has forgotten to bring their PIV Card to work

In these and similar situations, one or more derived PIV credentials MAY be issued, subject to the following conditions.

The subscriber SHALL be issued a derived PIV credential only after all issuance requirements in [FIPS201] Sec. 2.8 and 2.8.3 have been met (substituting “derived PIV credential” for “PIV Card” in those sections) and the PIV identity account has been established. Issuance SHALL be performed in person or at a supervised remote identity proofing station.

Since only PIV Cards (and not derived PIV credentials) can be used to bind additional derived PIV credentials, all derived PIV credentials expected to be needed SHOULD be issued at the same time. For example, the subscriber may need a mobile device and also a separate hardware token as derived PIV credentials.

Derived PIV credentials issued in this manner MAY also be enabled for physical access, as described in Appendix D .
