Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Who we are
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been operated by Battelle and its predecessors since our inception in 1965. For more than 50 years, we've advanced the frontiers of science and engineering in the service of our nation and the world. We make fundamental scientific discoveries that illuminate the mysteries of our planet and the universe. We apply our scientific expertise to tackle some of the most challenging problems in energy, the environment, and national security. Visiting PNNL To receive a badge, US citizens invited to visit our campus need to bring a valid photo ID. State driver’s licenses and identification cards must meet REAL-ID ACT OF 2005 standards established by the US Department of Homeland Security. Visitors with state licenses or identification cards that do not comply with REAL ID standards will be permitted access to facilities only when escorted by one of our employees. All non-U.S. citizens must present sufficient immigration documentation for each visit to PNNL. Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR) of the United States must provide a valid LPR card or evidence of lawful status if waiting for an LPR card to be issued. Non-US citizens who are not LPRs must provide valid passports and visa documentation, including I-94 Departure Record or applicable admission stamp in passport. Directions
