Why must I register in order to receive DTIC Information?

  • DTIC's collection includes information that describes research performed, sponsored, and cosponsored by DoD on various topics. This information carries security classifications up to the Secret level and is always marked by the originating office to show how it can be distributed. To ensure that the distribution of this sensitive data is not compromised, users are required to register with DTIC.

  • Based on the data submitted by potential users during the registration process and upon verification of that data, DTIC adds the user to its central registry file of authorized users. The registry file contains the user's level of security clearance and subject interest profile. All requests for DTIC products and services are validated against the registry file for site classification, registration status, and/or subject matter need to know.

Unclassified, unlimited and unclassified, limited distribution information:

The Defense Department's scientific and technical information is always marked by the office that originates the document to show how it can be distributed. Some information is classified to protect national security. DTIC's databases contain classified information that may be marked CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET.

DTIC's databases also contain information that although not classified is still sensitive for various reasons. These documents are marked to show why the information is sensitive and to whom the document can be distributed. Such documents are considered UNCLASSIFIED but LIMITED as to its distribution.

The majority of information in DTIC's databases is not classified or limited but can be released to anyone. This is referred to as UNCLASSIFIED, UNLIMITED.

Many of the limits on distribution have to do with whether or not the user is an employee of the Department of Defense, an employee of other U.S. Government organizations, or a contractor for either the DoD or other U.S. Government Organizations. Due to these distribution limitations, access to DTIC data and DTIC's registration processes are different for different groups of users.
