NASTF Application Process - New VSP Primary Account Set Up

To program keys, retrieve security codes, or order theft-relevant parts, you must be part of NASTF’s Secure Registry. This requires an application with supporting documentation. Once approved, you’ll receive your Vehicle Security Credential (VSC), also known as a VSP ID or LSID.

How to Register

1. Start Registration
    Go to: https://sdrm.nastfsecurityregistry.org/dotorg/landing
   Click the blue “Apply for SDRM” button.
2. Create Your Account
    Enter your email and create a password for the SDRM 2.0 system.
3. Confirm Your Email
   Look for an email titled “Your application for a NASTF VSP Credential Verify Email” from no-reply@nastfsecurityregistry.org.
   Click Confirm Email, then Login.
4. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (Required)

Install the NASTF app from the App Store (for iPhones) or Google Play (for Android phones). 

• Search for the “NASTF” app and register using your NASTF email address and password.

• Enable Location Services and Notifications. 

Note: Only one mobile device may be registered per account. Location Services must remain enabled, and VPNs or location-masking services may prevent authentication.
