 NOTICES  
   

Service members can now temporarily enroll their newborns in DEERS using a Certificate of Live Birth or a Hospital Proof of Birth Letter with a signed Newborn Interim DEERS Enrollment Memorandum. However, the official Birth Certificate and Social Security Card must be provided to finalize enrollment once acquired to prevent any potential benefit termination. Members may submit these documents in-person to the customer support section in the consolidated support building or via email at 377FSS.FSPS.Workflow@us.af.mil.  

DAFMAN 31-131V1 2.2.13 requires federal installations to post trespass notices to the public annually.
