Personal visitor
A personal visitor is an individual who does not access DOE or contractor information or technology and is not staying on site overnight. An example of a personal visitor is an individual visiting a friend or family member in the on-site Fermilab Village.
If you are dropping off or picking up someone, please email Security at access@fnal.gov or call the Security Operations Center at 630-840-3414.
Important notes on access before beginning the process
Personal visitors must be escorted at all times by a Fermilab-badged individual while on site.
If you are a personal visitor going to Fermilab Village, you are not permitted to stay on site overnight. If you need to stay overnight in the Village, please submit an authorized guest form and follow the authorized guest access process to obtain a Fermilab ID badge. Access will be reviewed by the Housing Office, which will approve or deny the request according to the housing overnight guidelines.
Please email Security at access@fnal.gov with any questions regarding the personal visitor access process.
Access steps to follow
Your Fermilab point of contact must fill out the personal visitor access request form.
- For guidance on how to complete the form, check out this helpful personal visitors instruction document.
- For reference, your Fermilab point of contact is the Fermilab-badged individual that you are visiting in the Village.
If you are a non-U.S. citizen, you will receive an email with a link to enter personal information. This must be completed to obtain on-site access. The request will be routed for approvals and processing by Fermilab Security as well as by the Foreign National Access Program (FNAP).
- Once all approvals are obtained, you will receive an email with an informal invitation letter and a QR code to enter the site.
- At the security gate, you must be prepared to present your QR code (located on the informal invitation letter email) and REAL ID-compliant document.
