Which information is required on an EAL?

• A. Only name and badge number
• B. Name, OFF/ENL/CIV and control number, badge number (IG/SAV), clearance level, dates of visit, expiration date
• C. Name and date of birth
• D. Rank and department only

Answer: (B)

Access control hinges on capturing who is requesting access, what their eligibility is, and for how long they are authorized. The information that should appear on an entry authorization list covers multiple layers: the person’s name to identify them; their status category (Officer, Enlisted, Civilian) to determine applicable privileges; a control number that ties to their security record; the badge number to verify the credential being presented; the security clearance level to ensure they meet the required level for the area; the dates of the visit to define the authorized time window; and the expiration date to prevent permissions from extending beyond a valid period. This combination supports correct identity verification, role-based access, credential validation, and time-bound authorization. The other options omit essential elements: only name and badge number lacks role, clearance, and validity; name and date of birth lacks role and clearance information; rank and department do not identify the individual or their access rights.
