Im not sure how it works with other services, but children under the age of 9 are not issued dependent ID cards.
I find this troublesome, My son is 4 almost 5, and visits his grandparents in Colorado when my wife and I go on business trips to foreign countries.
Because he is a dependent I believe that anyone who is watching him should be able to utilize commissary and other on base activities while we are away. My main concern is what if something happens that requires him to need medical attention, if he has to go to the hospital for something, then how are his grandparents/responsible adult supposed to provide proof of insurance without that ID card.
Has anyone else been faced with this and what do you have to do if your child has to have medical attention and you are not around to provide that proof of insurance? What I am really talking about is if your children are away from your home base and have to go to a civilian doctor or emergency care facility. Do you think the individuals watching your children should have base access or is this something that is not needed?

I work in an ID Office so I can assist! If you look in the Air Force Instruction 36-3026 table 4.3 describes children under 10 that can receive an ID card! As for privileges you can go to page 300 " Sample Agent Letter For Navy and Marine Corp Members Only". You can use this letter as an example. You might have to get permission from the facility for the guardian to purchase items.

There are a accomodations (burden of proof) that allow for care providers regarding varying periods to have an ID. It is the adult that receives the card, not the child. Contact your local installation. Thank you for your service.

Capt (Join to see) they can get ID cards incident to your family care plan. Your care givers used to be able to get white tesmer ID cards (dependent cards but white) that would allow access to medical, PX, commissary in support of caring for the children

Capt (Join to see) you need to look at the MCO for Famly Care Plans. https://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/Publications/MCO%201740.13C.pdf
I pulled this off Military One Source. The care giver authorization letter PO2 (Join to see) cites is enclosure 4. The MCO directs individual Marines to ensure each dependent is registered in DEERS. The Army specifies in AR600-8-14 that those under 10 must have an ID Card if there I see a need for a Family Care Plan or even I find the child simply loooks older than 10 (must oldest is tall, she got one at 8 because the German gate guards thought she was older). My poinnthere is that you can issue a DOD ID to someone under 10. Military One Source advises service members to fill out an 1172 for each dependent. Other situations may be discussed with the nearest RAPIDS office. I'd cite your family care plan and frequent use there of.

Capt (Join to see) MilitaryOne Source: "Explain how to use installation services and Military Treatment Facilities. Caregivers who do not have a military ID card can still enter a military facility with their power of attorney and the eligible family member's ID card. They may shop for them at commissaries and exchanges with a letter of authorization signed by the installation's commanding officer where they'll be shopping. You may request this letter through the ID card office at the installation."

So they'd go to Ft Carson, Petersen AFB, or USAFA.
