Access Request Form
All non-employee, work or residential access to Fermilab begins with the Access Request Form. There are three types of access for Affiliates, Authorized Guests, Contractors, and Users – remote/logical access, onsite only access and onsite with computing accounts access. You will have the opportunity to chose your access type on the access form. See below for specific instructions for each type of access. After you submit your Access Request form, your request will go through a series of approvals. Once the approval process is complete, you will receive an email with instructions for your next steps.
FILL OUT ONE OF THESE FORMS:
- Are you new to the Lab? (access request for new Affiliates, Users, Contractors and Authorized Guests)
- Do you need to renew or extend your computing or onsite access? (access request for existing Affiliates, Users, Contractors and Authorized Guests)
- Do you already have computing accounts but now need an ID badge? (onsite access request for Affiliates, Users and Contractors who already have computing access – requires services account login).

Make your Appointment for an ID badge
If you are planning to come onsite, you will need an ID badge; you MUST have either an active Fermi ID badge or a badge appointment in order to be allowed onsite. Once you have completed the process, schedule your appointment here. You can present your QR code at the gate and the list of names will be sent to Security to ensure gate access for those who don’t have the QR code. If you are renewing your badge, you will need to return your old badge at your appointment. Please bring the appropriate documents to your appointment. You will receive an email with your badge appointment instructions the business day prior to your appointment, as well as an automated reminder around midnight the night before your appointment.
