My staff can submit requests for tours of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for parties of ten or fewer. Larger groups should request tours through the Bureau's group tours page.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is at 14th and C Streets SW. My office can help you arrange a tour, but spaces fill up fast--make sure you contact us at least three months before your visit so that we can make your reservation (reservations are available up to six months in advance).

White House (Please note: The White House requires 35 days notice to submit a tour. There are no exceptions. The White House accepts requests up to six months in advance, and spaces fill quickly).

This is a self-guided tour of four public rooms on the ground and state floors of the White House. The tour lasts about half an hour, during which there are no opportunities to sit or use the facilities. I don't recommend this tour for young children.

Space is extremely limited--My staff will do everything they can to secure you a tour, but demand is very high, and the White House is not able to accommodate everyone. Openings are distributed through a lottery system. You should contact my office six months in advance of your visit so that my staff can submit your name to the lottery. Please understand that no matter how early you submit your request, there is no way to guarantee that the White House will approve your tour.

The White House conducts background checks on all visitors. In order to submit your request, my staff will need the following information for every member of your party:

1. Full First, Middle, and Last Name
2. Gender
3. Date of Birth
4. U.S Citizens Age 16+: Social Security Number
5. Foreign Nationals: Country of Citizenship
6. City and State of Residence (if visiting the U.S, city and state where you are staying in the U.S).

Please write your security information here:

My staff will keep your security information completely confidential.

Please Note: 90-120 days after your visit, the White House will release your name and the date of your tour to the public. They will not release your date of birth, Social Security Number, or any other information you've provided.

Admission is free. Phone: 202-456-7041. Website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/whtour/ Closest Metro: Farragut West or McPherson Square (blue and orange lines)

My staff will contact you via e-mail to arrange your tours.
