Tips for Visitors to Los Alamos National Laboratory

Visitor Guide to Los Alamos National Laboratory

• APPROVAL TO COME TO LANL. Visitors from other DOE facilities with a DOE Standard clearance badge do not need any special approvals to come to the Laboratory.
• VISITORS WITH A DOE CLEARANCE BUT WITHOUT A DOE STANDARD BADGE. Visitors who hold a DOE clearance but were not issued a DOE Standard badge or did not bring it for their LANL visit are processed as Visitors without a DOE Standard Badge.
• ENROLLMENT IN BADGE READERS. Visitors only need to come to the Badge Office to enter their badge information into the badging system and to be enrolled in the hand geometry readers if they have not done so before - enrollment is for one year or through the expiration date on the badge, whichever comes first - the Badge Office will first verify the individual has an active clearance before enrollment; Laboratory hosts are responsible for making arrangements for approval of a visitor into any
• DATABASE-CONTROLLED BADGE READER LOCATION. A visitor who has his/her DOE Standard badge enrolled, but does not bring the badge for a subsequent visit covered by the enrollment period, will be issued a LANL site-specific visitor badge, once the procedures outlined in Visitors Without a DOE Standard Badge have been completed.  The enrollment of the DOE Standard badge will be inactivated during the period the visitor is in possession of the LANL visitor badge.  Also, if the visitor brings a different DOE Standard badge than the one originally enrolled, the visitor will have to have this new badge enrolled to have access to Laboratory security areas, since enrollment is badge-specific.
• DAMAGED BADGES. Visitors with damaged badges will not be able to use their badges in the Laboratory's access control system: advise visitors to have their badge replaced by their own facility if necessary, before coming to the Laboratory; the LANL Badge Office cannot assist them.
• ACCESS TO SIGMA CLASSIFIED MATTER
• Visitors from a DOE weapons complex facility who will need Sigma access can be approved for such access by the LANL host.
• Visitors from a DOE non-weapons complex facility requiring Sigma access must have their own organization apply for Sigma access approval in advance of their LANL visit from DOE/HQ's Office of Defense Programs.
