requesting access to unclassified information can register over
the phone or by fax. For classified information, a DD
Form 1540 must be completed and signed by your DoD approving
official.

a DD Form 1540 must be completed and signed by your designated official.

do I have to register with DTIC in order to get a document? |

of the nature of the information in our collection, DTIC is mandated
to serve a restricted user community. The unclassified, unlimited
portion of our collection is made available through the National Technical
Information Service and through DTIC's Public STINET service: (http://stinet.dtic.mil).

| Registration--I
completed the registration application several weeks ago and I have
not heard from DTIC yet. When will I receive my user code? |
| The
time it takes to register with DTIC depends on your organization.
Contractors and subcontractors who complete a DD Form 1540, take the
longest to process due to the need to obtain approval from their sponsors.
When DTIC receives the DD Form 1540 from the sponsor, it is processed
into our system within 3 days unless there is a problem requiring
resolution. You will receive a packet from DTIC's Registration Team
notifying you of your user code.
