FNAP office review process

Prior to obtaining computing privileges or a Fermilab-ID badge it is a requirement to fill out an access request form.

The FNAP office is responsible for reviewing requests of all non-U.S. citizens. For an overview of the FNAP review and approval process, please refer to the FNAP access approval workflow. Find the Spanish version of the FNAP access approval workflow here.

  • Please begin the access request process a minimum of 4 weeks before access is needed.
  • For real-time updates on submitted access requests, refer to the Site Access Request Status page.

Please note that Nonproprietary User Agreements (NPUAs) are required before individuals can work on-site on experiments associated with the Fermilab accelerator complex or CMS. Additional information can be found here.

Refer to the Fermilab access policy for access definitions and to the guidance document for worker type and visitor examples.
