Scott AFB suspends Trusted Traveler Program

  • Published
  • 375th Air Mobility Wing

Effective immediately, the 375th Air Mobility Wing has suspended the Trusted Traveler program for Scott Air Force Base, Ill.

This change in policy alters the process for anyone without base access seeking to enter the installation and requires them to have a valid visitor pass and sponsor.

Sponsors are required to contact or visit the Dixon Visitor Center to initiate the process. The visitor center is open Monday-Friday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. During business hours, they can be reached by phone at 618-256-2008 or by email at 375sfs.vcc.dixonvisitorcenter@us.af.mil.

For in-person pass requests, both the sponsor and the visitor must be present at the visitor center. Visitors must provide valid, REAL ID-compliant identification, such as a state-issued driver's license, passport, or a Social Security card with a photo. Vehicle registration is required for visitors intending to drive on the installation. Individuals needing long-term or recurring access for work, school, or other official business should contact the Dixon Visitor Center during regular business hours. This office facilitates the issuance of a defense biometric identification system (DBIDS) card for eligible non-military personnel.

All individuals seeking access will undergo a mandatory criminal background check. Access may be denied to individuals with a history of felonies, outstanding warrants, or significant criminal activity.
