Are White House tours available?

The White House offers tours to any group of 10 or more people.  top

My White House tour request does not meet the 10 person requirement.  Is a tour still possible?  

If there are not 10 people in your group, my office will work to combine your group with another White House tour request made through my office or another congressional offices  A member of my staff will contact you if the tour request is possible by joining your group with another group.  top

How much advance notice is needed for a tour?

White House tours are accepted up to 6 months in advance of the actual tour date, but must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the requested tour date.  top

How will I know if my White House tour request has been approved?

After receiving notice from the White House concerning your tour request, my office will notify you as to whether or not the requested White House tour is possible.  White House notification should arrive 2 to 4 weeks before the tour date.

If the tour is possible, you will receive a security clearance form to be filled out by each guest at that time.  The Secret Service needs this data no less than 10 business days prior to the tour.  top
