| | | White House The White House is the most visited residence in the world. Many times a week, the President and First Lady open their home to the American people. Tours may be scheduled through our Washington DC office. Due to security and scheduling procedures, there are additional requirements when scheduling tours of the White House. A few things you should know before requesting a tour: - Only groups of 10 or more may request a tour. Even if you do not have that many in your group, you may still submit your information, as we will attempt to combine smaller groups to create groups of 10.
- Requests can be submitted up to six months in advance, with a minimum of one month's advance notice from the date of the tour. Please note that these tours fill up quickly, so the sooner you submit your request the better your chances are of receiving a tour. Notice of tour status will be given 10 days prior to the date requested. All tours, even after they have been confirmed, are subject to cancellation due to security interests.
- Tours are only conducted Tuesday-Saturday from 7:30 am to 11:30 am.
To process your request for a tour, please contact my Washington office at (202) 224-5521 and provide the following information: - Date(s) requesting.
- Security information for each person in your party, including: name as it appears on I.D. (I.D. required for ages 14 and up), date of birth, social security number, country of origin, and citizenship.
- A home address and daytime and evening phone numbers for the designated leader of the group.
- A contact number while in DC for the designated leader of the group. (i.e. hotel, cell phone, pager, etc.)
After all security information is submitted for your group, we will send an official request to the White House Tour office. After the request is confirmed or denied our office will contact you with further instructions. |
