All visitors must go through a security screening, so please allow extra time to get on campus. You will need to how a valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s licenses, passport, or other government agency ID. Complete details can be found at www.security.nih.gov/securityFAQ.htm.
Because visitor parking is severely limited, you are encouraged to take public transportation. The Metrorail subway system has a station (Medical Center) on the NIH campus. Metrorail Map
