UID or Unique Identification is considered to be a common key across the Department of Defense. It is basically a program or combination of all programs with regard to the information relevant to the items meeting UID standards and norms such as UID labels, plates and tags. UID Registry refers to a software system designed by the DoD to store the information of all the items that conform to the UID standards.



The DoD UID Registry helps the Department of Defense to have a clear visibility into the wide network of assets. Quite a few suppliers in the United States are logistically challenged to conform to the compliance requirements stipulated in the contract written by the Department of Defense (DoD). One must declare all the essential and relevant information to the DoD UID Registry in order to comply with the DoD mandate for UID.

It becomes very easy for the DoD to access the necessary and relevant information about any items that are stored in the DoD UID registry. Aside from making acquisition, repair, and deployment of registered items faster and more efficient for the DoD, UID Registry helps the DoD to accomplish a higher states of operational readiness and facilitates checking the status of assets in theater and in storage which is extremely essential in a rapidly changing scenario.

UID Registry is one of most important steps you must take if you want to enter into any contract with DoD. There are various solutions available to be a UID compliant. The UID compliance solutions include all the critical components that are essential to conform to the UID marking mandate such as UID labes, tags and plates and other RFID credentials by the Department of Defense. In a nutshell, the UID compliance solutions enable encoding, printing and validating along with conforming to the WAWF and DoD UID Registry electronic update requirements.
