this gate to access Fort McNair.
    Base Access Requirements: All visitors without a DoD Common Access 
Card or U.S. military ID must be vetted in advance to gain entry onto 
the base. Per the U.S. Army, all non-DoD civilians are required to have 
a background check before being allowed on a military installation; 
better known as vetting. It is highly recommended that visitors undergo 
the pre-vetting process and apply online as detailed below.
    For Pre-vetting: To allow sufficient time for processing, access 
requests should be submitted no more than 14 days ahead or less than 
three days before the event. The visitor will receive notification via 
email, and, if approved, a one-day visitor's pass for entry onto the 
base. The visitor must print the pass and present it to the guard at 
the gate to enter Fort McNair.
    (a) If the visitor has a valid U.S. driver's license:
    (i) The visitor can apply for access online at https://pass.aie.army.mil/jbmhh/. Under Reason for Visit, select ``Other.'' 
Alternatively, the visitor can apply in person at the Fort McNair 
Visitor Control Center (VCC)/Police Substation (Building 65) from 8:00 
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

    The visitor must apply in person at the Fort McNair VCC/Police 
Substation (Building 65) from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through

running background checks and issuing passes can take much longer than 
expected.
