Visiting Washington, DC
Image
Our office schedules tours for constituents on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to high demand, please request them as early as possible to maximize your chances.
Beginning May 7, 2025, visitors will be unable to access the White House Complex without a REAL ID-compliant form of ID: physical REAL ID (not a temporary paper version), passport or passport card, military ID, or permanent resident card. For more information on REAL ID, click here.
- Tours must be requested at least one week in advance per White House policy. Due to high demand, tours made further in advance have the highest chance of success.
- Tours can be scheduled up to three months in advance and tend to fill up quickly. You can still submit this form more than three months in advance, but we will have to wait until the window opens before we can act on your request.
- Tours are self-guided and are offered Tuesday-Thursday from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM and Friday-Saturday from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The White House closes occasionally for official business, and the tour schedule is subject to change at any time with little notice, due to inclement weather or scheduling conflicts, even after confirmation.
