Before making a White House tour request, please note:

• The White House receives a very large volume of requests. In order to increase your chances of receiving a tour, we recommend making yourself available on as many days as possible. The greater your flexibility, the greater your chance of participating in a tour.
• Tours are typically 45 minutes in length and are scheduled Tuesday through Saturday between 7:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
• Tours of the White House are scheduled by the White House Visitors Center no sooner than four weeks before the requested tour date. As soon as our office receives notification of your tour request or denial we will update your party of its status.
• Once the request is submitted, the number of people allowed on the tour cannot be changed.
• If a tour request is accepted, security information must be submitted by our office no later than two weeks before the requested tour date. This includes the full name, Social Security number, date of birth, and city, state of birth and residence of EACH member of the group. If you do not have a Social Security number a passport number and country name are acceptable.
• Please note that tour schedules are always dependent on official events taking place in the White House. Occasionally, it may be necessary to deviate from the regular tour schedule, or reschedule a tour.
