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

With the exception of Air Force 1102 foreign students, 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 request an account. Otherwise, please follow the guidance below.


Frequently Asked Questions

Air Force foreign students in Contracting (1102) should NOT use their DOD-CAC to request a DAU account.  Please provide your EIN to the DAU Help Desk by submitting a ticket through the Public Service Portal.  Afterwards you will be informed if you have an account or if an account needs to be created. ​

Q1: What is an EIN and an FIN?

EIN - Employee Identification Number (consisting of letters and numbers) used for students in lieu of a Social Security Number.  An EIN to complete DAU courses should not be confused with an EIN associated to DCPDS (Defense Civilian Personnel Data System). An EIN to complete DAU courses must exist in ATRRS (Army Training Requirements & Resource System).   

FIN - Foreign Identification Number used for students in lieu of a Social Security Number.  It is associated to a user's DoD CAC.  When submitting the DAU SAAR, if the FIN associated to your CAC is not found in ATRRS, you will be required to establish an EIN.
