The NT4D is ITAR restricted in accordance with DoD directive 5230.25, under the provisions of Public Law 98-94, “Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1984,” Section 1217, September 24, 1983. Only those certified under directive 5230.25 are eligible to obtain access to unclassified technical data with military or space applications in the possession of or under the control of the DoD.

Additional DD2345 Certification Tips
- Find Out if You Already Have a Current DD2345 Certification
To determine if your employer already has a certification on file that extends to all employees at your location, visit the website here, contact the Joint Certification Office at 800-352-3572, or send an email to jcp-admin@dla.mil. Please note: Every location of a company MUST have its own certification number. For example, if your organization’s headquarters are in Alexandria, VA, but you work at an office in Denver, CO, your certified DD2345 MUST have the address for the Denver office. One certified DD2345 at the headquarters does not blanket all locations of an organization. University certification is by department and not University wide. The only exception is if the University’s Department of Research/Sponsored Programs or Security/Export Control office has a current DD2345 form – this will include everyone at that University. By regulation, the ITAR restricted Conference proceedings will be sent to the address on the DD2345 and you will need to acquire the proceedings from the individual listed as data custodian
