White House Tours
The White House is the only tour that requires congressional assistance in order to obtain tickets. Tours may be requested as far as six months in advance. The White House requires that all tour requests be submitted no less than 30 days in advance of the desired date. To help ensure that tickets are available, please fill out and submit the form below as soon as possible. In filling out your request, please only include the dates for which you are available for the tour(s) and not the dates you are traveling.
Once the initial request has been made with the office, you will be asked to submit addition information for each guest. This information is required by the White House in order to complete the request. You must provide the full name (including middle initial), gender, date of birth, social security number, phone number, city and state of current residence, and country of birth for each guest. This information may be included in the form below as part of your initial request or in response to the confirmation email you will be sent as a receipt of your request.
Note: White House tours are granted at the sole discretion of White House Visitor Services. While we do our best help ensure that your request is accommodated, we cannot guarantee that tours are available for the dates and times you have requested.
