All visitor and commercial vehicles will be inspected.
All visitors must show one (1) form of identification (a government-issued photo ID—driver's license, passport, green card, etc.).
All employees must present a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) photo ID badge (for example, your NIH-issued ID badge).
Due to the checking of IDs at the perimeter, employees and visitors will not be required to show their ID again to gain access to the majority of buildings on the NIH Bethesda Campus during the normal business day.
Employees and visitors should continue to wear their identification prominently at all times while on Campus.
