Tour Information: -Tours of the White House are scheduled on a first come basis in the order in which the request was received -In order to increase your chances of receiving a tour, we recommend making yourself available on as many days as possible. The greater your flexibility, the greater your chance of participating in a tour. -Requests can only be submitted for parties of 10 or more people. (If your party does not meet the criteria that the White House requires, please indicate the days and times that you are available. We will keep a record and let you know if we are able to coordinate with other constituents to meet the required number of 10 or more.) -Once the request is submitted, the number of people allowed on the tour cannot be changed. -Please note that tour schedules are always dependent on official events taking place in the White House. Occasionally, it may be necessary to deviate from the regular tour schedule, or reschedule a tour. -Please understand that tour request acceptance or denial is solely at the discretion of the White House Visitors Center.
Tour Request Deadline: The White House requires tour requests to be placed at least one month before your requested tour date. Absolutely no tours will be accepted by the White House past this time. Tours may be requested up to 6 months in advance. (I encourage you to submit your request as early as possible since a limited number of tours are available and tours are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. It also helps to request more than one possible date).
Procedures: You will be notified of your tour’s status approximately three weeks before the requested tour date. If a tour request is accepted, security information (including the full name, social security number, and date of birth for EACH member of the group) must be submitted to my office at least two weeks before the requested tour date. Non-US citizens will need to submit a passport number and country of origin.
