ID Documents Required for JLab Onsite/Remote Access
All guests/users requesting access to JLab must present valid government-issued photo identification via uploading to electronic checklist within the registration. Failure to provide the essential documents will result in denial of access and non-issuance of a JLab access badge or computer account.
Beginning May 7,2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will officially begin enforcing the REAL ID Act of 2005. This means that a traditional driver’s license will no longer be accepted through airport security and all Americans will be required to present REAL ID-compliant identification to go through airport security and enter certain federal facilities. As a federal facility Jefferson Lab must comply with this requirement.
