AMPS Snapshot: User Registration— External Users

Do You Need an AMPS Account?

Not an employee of DLA or DFAS?

If you cannot authenticate your identity with a smart 

card, you can still obtain an AMPS account to request 

roles relevant to the business you want to conduct with 

either of these organizations.

AMPS accounts are available for various types of users: 

non-employees, vendors, and members of the public. 

Each of these user types addresses a specific set of needs.



If you are NOT using a smart card (CAC, PIV) to 

authenticate, the AMPS team advises you to prepare a 

password and answers to security questions before you 

register. Follow these steps:



1. Prepare a valid password for your AMPS 

account. The password accompanies your 

AMPS-generated ID when you log in to AMPS.

2. Prepare answers for the security questions. If 

you ever need to reset your password, AMPS 

requires you to enter these answers to 

authenticate yourself as the specified user.

3. If you are a member of the Military, a Civilian 

employee of the government, or a government 

Contractor, identify the email address for each 

of the following: External Security Officer, 

External Supervisor, and if necessary, an 

External Authorizing Official. These persons 

approve your role requests.

4. Prepare to enter user and contact information.

This information identifies you as an AMPS user 

and provides channels for contacting you with 

pertinent messages about AMPS and your 

account.
