Collection: Government

Secure credentialing is essential across federal, state, and local agencies. From office desks to field inspections and law enforcement, government teams need wearables that keep PIV/CAC credentials visible, tap-ready, and protected while meeting safety and durability requirements. 

Specialist ID’s Government Collection is curated with input from agency employees to deliver safety-first lanyards, rugged retractable reels, rigid multi-card holders, and RFID‑blocking options that stand up to daily duty.

In this collection, everything has been selected based on the input and feedback of government employees. You will find everything from the most popular types of lanyards and badge reels to the latest in RFID blocking badge holders.
