Visitors with a standard Department of Energy (DOE) badge or a valid visitor badge issued from Sandia/New Mexico may present it to the guard at any KAFB gate and be granted entry. Other visitors can obtain a visitor badge from the Sandia Badge Office to gain entry to the base.

Vehicle passes for visitors are no longer required.

The guard may verify the following information from visitors:

• Current registration
• Proof of insurance
• Driver's license
• Rental agreement (if applicable)

Remember that your host has primary responsibility for ensuring that the details of your visit, including base entry, are properly coordinated beforehand with Sandia Security and with KAFB. Prospective visitors or Sandia hosts who have questions about the process may contact the Badge Office at (505) 284-3626.

All visitors must wear badges for the duration of their visits. You will need to present proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a driver's license or passport.

Your visitor badge must be returned to your host or the Badge Office upon departure.
