Main Gate Access
Requests can only be made by BNL Employees...

Access to BNL is controlled by permitting entrance only to those persons who have official business at the Lab and only to those visitors who are properly sponsored by a BNL employee. Requests for individual visits and requests for properly approved events with multiple visitors are handled on separate forms.

How to Login - Authorized users will be prompted with a login window when trying to access the forms listed below. After the window appears, users will then have to enter their BNL Domain username and password into the correct form fields. For Windows users, your BNL domain password is the same password used to login to your computer in most cases. Users working on a UNIX platform will not have to log off their existing computer to access these forms, but will have to use their correct BNL domain password. Accepted logins will then be directed to the selected form.

The correct username format is: bnl\Username
Example: Login Window

Having Problems - If you experience problems, please contact the Main Gate Visitors Center (631.344.4720 or 631.344.2464) for assistance.
