White House

The White House is the most visited residence in the world.  Many times a week, the President and First Lady open their home to the American people.

Tours may be scheduled through our Washington DC office. Due to security and scheduling procedures, there are additional requirements when scheduling tours of the White House.

A few things you should know before requesting a tour:

• The White House grants tours on a first-come, first served basis.  Requests can be submitted up to six months in advance, with a minimum of twenty-one days advance notice from the date of the tour. Please note that these tours fill up quickly, so the sooner you submit your request the better your chances are of receiving a tour.
• Tours are available on Tuesday through Thursday from 7:30 am to 11:00 am; Friday from 7:30 am to 12:00 pm; and, Saturday from 7:30 am to 1:00 pm.
• Notice of tour status will be given two to six weeks prior to the date requested. All tours, even after they have been confirmed, are subject to cancellation due to security interests.

To process your request for a tour, please contact my Washington office at (202) 224-5521.  The White House requires the following and provide the following information:

• Tour date(s) that you are requesting.
• Contact information, including address, phone number where you can be reached while visiting Washington and email address
• The White House also requires that we submit security information for each visitor, including: name (first, middle initial, last), date of birth, social security number, citizenship status, country of birth, gender, and current city and state of residence (this should match your photo ID, which is required for all visitors ages 15 and up).A home address and daytime and evening phone numbers for the designated leader of the group.

After all security information is submitted for your group, we will send an official request to the White House Tour office. After the request is confirmed or denied our office will contact you with further instructions.
