• Badge Office Information:

  • The Badge Office customer service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:15 a.m.-3 p.m. However, the office sometimes closes for meetings or special events. Visitors are advised to call the Security hotline at 505-845-1321 to verify that the office is open before planning a visit.  

  • Visitor Badges:  

    • With the exception of a few public areas, a DOE security badge (i.e., DOE HSPD-12 credential or Sandia-issued visitor badge) is required for access to all Sandia-controlled premises.

    • You will be required to provide proof of identity when you pick up your badge. Driver's licenses or state-issued ID cards used for this purpose must be from a state or territory compliant with the Real ID Act of 2005. Non-compliant licenses or IDs will NOT be accepted; if your ID is not compliant, an alternate REAL ID-compliant photo ID will be required.  

    • Your visitor badge must be returned to your host or to the Badge Office at the end of your visit.
