About NIST Facility Access

Because NIST is a controlled-access facility, supplementary information will be required for all non-U.S. citizens. Once you register for AM-Bench 2018, TMS will be in touch with those individuals who indicated on the registration form that they are not a U.S. citizen. These individuals will need to complete a NIST visitor access registration form*. This step is required to process entry into the NIST headquarters facility and should be completed as soon as possible. The NIST access registration site closes on June 11, 2018.

After completing the NIST access registration form, NIST staff will submit registrant information to security and will alert TMS if an issue arises. TMS will monitor the status of registrations with NIST and will notify registrants of their approval status.

All AM-Bench 2018 attendees will also be required to present photo ID onsite upon entry to the NIST Gaithersburg facility.
