DS Logon Email Registration

The following instructions, including screenshots, are available for download.

Verify Your Personal Information

  1. If you have a DoD ID card or a CAC but no access to a CAC reader, select the Email Registration option and click Continue. You must have a unique email address on file in DEERS to use this option. A unique email address is one that is not used by anyone else, including family members. 
  2. On the Personal Information screen, enter your personal data that matches your DEERS record:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Date of Birth
    • Person Identifier: Select a person ID type from the drop-down list (such as DoD ID Number or SSN) and enter the associated ID Number.
    • This info should match what is in DEERS for the system to verify you.
  3. Click Submit.

Confirm Your Email

  1. Click Yes to receive your DS Logon activation email at the email address on file in DEERS. If you click No, you will return to the home page. If you have more than one email address on file in DEERS, select the email you want to use for registration and click Submit.
  2. Click Yes to consent to the use of that email address to receive an activation code.
  3. The system sends an activation code to your email address and confirms that the activation code has been sent. Click Finish.

Activate Your Account

  1. Open the email and use the link provided to go to the DS Logon Activation screen or click Activate Your Account on the DS Logon login screen.
  2. Enter your PII (first name, last name, date of birth, and person identifier) and the activation code from the email. Click Continue.

Confirm Your Contact Information

  • If the information on the Verify Contact Information screen is correct, click Continue. Click Edit if you need to change the information.
    • If you click Edit, you can update your primary email and phone number. You will need to enter your ID number again (EDI or SSN) and click Save.
