On SIPR, what is considered an initial issue or first-time subscriber?

• A. A subscriber with a new name but the same EDIPI
• B. A person who has never had an NSS token
• C. A new requesting subscriber to your unit
• D. A subscriber with a new persona code

Answer: (B)

On SIPR, initial issue means provisioning credentials to someone who has never possessed an NSS token before. The NSS token is the authentication credential used to access SIPR, so if a person has never had one, this is their first-time issuance of that credential. The other scenarios describe changes to an existing account or attributes (like a name change with the same identifier or a persona code change) or a new requester who may still be tied to an existing token, not the brand-new credential setup. So the best match is the person who has never had an NSS token.
