In accordance with updated NIH policy, all non-U.S. persons (visitors who are not a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident) are required to complete a pre-registration form prior to arrival at NIH.

If this applies to you, please inform the NIH event organizer to add your name and email to our VisitNIH Pre-Registration Portal.

You will then receive an email from NIHvisitornotification@nih.gov, with a secure link to complete the pre-registration form. The form should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and should be completed ASAP to ensure we are able to process the details of your visit in a timely manner.
