DAU Account Creation Process for Foreign Local Nationals (FLN), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and NATO


FLN, FMS, and NATO students who want to take DAU online courses must have a DoD CAC or a DAUID in order to submit the DAU SAAR.  If you meet either of these requirements, you can go to the DAU SAAR to proceed.  Otherwise, please see the related FAQs below for additional information.

NOTE:  Air Force FLN Employees should not use their CAC to request an account.  Please provide your EIN to the DAU Help Desk for a DAUID to be created.
