ID Documents Required for JLab Onsite/Remote Access
All guests/users requesting access to JLab must present required valid site access ID Documents upon arrival or upload to electronic checklist. Failure to provide the essential site ID Documents will result in denial of access and non-issuance of a JLab photo identification 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.
Please see FACT sheets and fliers for important details, which should be read and reviewed closely:
