Obtaining a White House tour can be very difficult. It is very important to follow the below guidelines for your application to be considered.
The following are policies determined by the White House for those requesting tours through Congressional Offices:
- Tours must be requested at least one month in advance, though we cannot guarantee tickets, as they are distributed by the individual locations.
- Tours are only available Tuesday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Fridays and Saturdays 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
- Beginning on May 7, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be mandating REAL ID for U.S. citizens seeking to access certain federal facilities, including the White House Complex.
- In line with DHS guidance, visitors will be unable to access to the White House Complex beginning May 7, 2025, without a valid form of government-issued ID: a REAL ID or a passport. Non-REAL IDs will no longer be accepted for any guests, including for official meetings, tours, and other events on the White House Complex.
- Any guest who is unable present a REAL ID or a valid passport—including VIP guests, members of the press, and Members of Congress—will not be admitted to the White House Complex.
- REAL ID-compliant cards will have one of the following markings in the upper portion of the card. If the card does not have one of these markings, it is not REAL-ID compliant and will not be accepted as a valid form of ID to enter the White House Complex.
