• Tours of the White House are scheduled on a first come basis in the order in which the request was received
• 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.
• The White House requires that security information for each individual who plans to tour be submitted with the specific dates requested. 
• Once the request is submitted, the number of people allowed on the tour cannot be increased.
• 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.
• Please understand that tour request acceptance or denial is solely at the discretion of the White House Visitors Center.

Tour Request Deadline: The White House requires tour requests to be placed at least 30 days before your requested tour date. Requests to the White House are unable to be placed less than 30 days before the specific date. Tours may be requested up to 6 months in advance. (I encourage you to submit your request as early as possible since a limited number of tours are available and tours are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. It also helps to request more than one possible date).

Procedures:  You will be notified of your tour’s status approximately four weeks before the requested tour date.
