NAVY ADMIN GUIDE
Navy SSIC Lookup
The Standard Subject Identification Code (SSIC) helps classify correspondence and records by subject. Choosing the right code is a records-management decision, not something a formatting tool should guess from a few words.
Updated September 12, 2026
How to choose an SSIC
- Start with the subject of the document, not the office that wrote it
- Use the current SSIC reference used by your organization
- Choose the most specific appropriate subject code
- Confirm local records-management requirements before routing
Do not let AI invent a code
MilAdmin should help you find and apply a code, but the user remains responsible for verifying the correct SSIC against the authoritative reference.
Where SSIC appears
Depending on the document type, the SSIC may appear in the identification/designation information that helps classify and manage the correspondence or directive.
