The White House
The White House is one of the most iconic and recognizable buildings, as well as one of the most popular tourist attractions, in our nation's capital. Norm's D.C. office is happy to assist his constituents arrange for a self-guided tour of this historic residence, if we are given advance notice. In order to process your request we will also need to have some basic security information from each member of your group.
IMPORTANT: You are advised to submit your request to our office at least 4-6 months before your desired dates. Requests to tour the White House have increased dramatically under the new Administration, and they are simply unable to accommodate all the requests. Requests submitted less than three months beforehand are NOT likely to be approved.
Please remember that the White House is one of the most popular attractions in D.C. and during busy periods--Spring Break, three-day weekends, Summer, etc--it can be especially difficult to obtain reservations without adequate notice. Our office will do our best to accomodate your request, but tour requests are not likely to be approved if they are not submitted far enough in advance.
We are able to submit requests up to six months in advance, and a minimum of 35 days in advance. This deadline is strict and is imposed by the White House Visitor's Office. Reservations are assigned by the White House Visitor's Office approximately two weeks before the requested date(s) on a first-come, first-serve basis.
