A Business Visitor is an individual who has business with Fermilab that can be achieved in less than one week while being escorted when in non-public access areas and…

• Does not require training or a Fermilab ID badge
• Does not require computing access
• Does not receive payments or reimbursement using DOE funds

STEPS TO OBTAIN ACCESS AS A BUSINESS VISITOR: 

1. Coordinate with your Fermilab POC the details of your visit.
2. Fill out the Site Access and Badging form.
   • Once submitted, the access request will need to be approved by the POC.
   • In addition, non-U.S. citizens’ requests will also be routed to the Foreign National Access Program (FNAP) office and Export Control for verification and approval.
   • If you have questions about the status of your request, contact access@fnal.gov.
3. Once access is approved:
   • Non-U.S. citizens will be sent an email to complete onboarding in WorkDay. This step must be completed in order for the access request to be fully processed.
   • Onsite visitors will receive an informal letter with a QR Code, which must be presented at the security gate upon arrival.
   • Business visitors are also required to show a valid REAL ID at the security gate
   • Once through the gate, BVs will proceed to the Fermilab Welcome and Access Center to get their BV badge/sticker.
   • In addition to the informal letter, onsite non-U.S. visitors will receive a formal invitation letter that can be used, if needed, in the visa process

*Business Visitors must be escorted when in non-public access areas by a Fermilab-badged individual, unless attending an event is in Wilson Hall and approvals have been obtained for BVs to be unescorted while attending that event.

**Business Visitors must exit the site by sundown unless there is special approval from Security to stay onsite after-hours.

For additional direction on the business visitor process, please refer to the Guidance document and the Security Department website.
