JCP Portal

The JCP portal is the primary interface for contractors to manage their Joint Certification Program certifications. 

The portal's online application process incorporates all the information required for the DD Form 2345. Users fill out the necessary DD Form 2345 fields directly within the portal's interface; paper and emailed forms are no longer accepted. The system has separate application paths for U.S. and Canadian companies to account for legal differences. Users may submit initial applications, revisions, and renewals.

The portal also facilitates applications for DLA Enhanced Validation (DEV), which grants access to a higher level of export-controlled data within DLA systems like DIBBS and cFolders. Once certified, you can download your recent DD2345 from the system.
