The Sponsor is the individual who substantiates the need for a USAccess Credential to be issued to an Applicant, enters the Applicant's required sponsorship data into the system, and remains aware of the Applicant's status and continuing need to hold a USAccess Credential.

The Sponsor performs an Applicant Search, enters the Applicant's biographical data, and the Sponsorship information to create a new USAccess PIV record. USAccess records are also updated and managed by the Sponsor. For example, the Sponsor can update biographic and sponsorship information, and then request a credential reprint, reissue, or certificate update.

The Sponsor is the only person who can make corrections or changes to an Applicant's biographic and sponsorship information in the system.
