Policies

REAL ID

(Effective May 2025) Please note that as a result of the REAL ID Act, some state/territory IDs are not sufficient for access to the U.S. Naval Academy. Please check the Current Status of States/Territories to see if your state or territory’s ID is compliant with the REAL ID Act. Drivers’ licenses and state IDs from states that are not compliant must be accompanied by an acceptable second form of ID (SSN Card, Certified Copy of a Birth Certificate, U.S. Citizen ID Card, etc.). Visitors who are NOT U.S. citizens MUST present an original unexpired passport for entry.
