White House tours are offered Tuesday through Saturday. Tours are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability is determined by the White House. Tours must be requested a month in advance and cannot be requested more than three months in advance. Requests submitted greater than three months in advance will be responded to when tour submission becomes possible. Upon your request, you will receive an email from the White House asking you to submit additional personal information such as name, birth date, place of birth, and social security number for security purposes. The White House also requires tour participants to have valid, federal photo identification in hand prior to taking a tour. Beginning May 2025, the White House requires either a REAL ID or passport for all U.S. Citizens entering the White House.
