About the Access Pass:
The Access Pass is a free, lifetime pass available to United States citizens or permanent residents, regardless of age, that
have a permanent disability. The Pass can be used at over 2000 federal recreation sites across the nation, including
National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, and many National Forest lands. The Senior Pass admits the Pass owner and
any passengers traveling with him/her in a non-commercial vehicle at per-vehicle fee areas or the Pass owner and three
additional adults where per-person fees are charged. The Senior Pass may also offer a discount on some expanded amenity
fees, such as camping. Discounts offered by the Pass very widely across the many different types of recreation sites. Pass
owners are encouraged to check with sites they plan to visit before obtaining a pass to verify that their Pass will be
accepted. Anytime a Pass is used, photo identification will be requested to verify Pass ownership.
How to Obtain a Access Pass
The pass may be obtained two ways, either at a federal recreation site where entrance or standard amenity fees are charged
or through the mail. To obtain a pass you must have identification to verify that you are a U.S. citizen or permanent
resident, which could include:
A US State or Territory issued Drivers License, Identification or Birth Certificate
A US Passport or Passport Card
A Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
You must also have documentation that you have a permanent disability, which could include:
A statement signed by a licensed physician attesting that you have a permanent physical, mental, or sensory
impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, and stating the nature of the impairment;
OR

A document issued by a Federal agency, such as the Veteran’s Administration, which attests that you have been
medically determined to be eligible to receive Federal benefits as a result of blindness or permanent disability.
Other acceptable Federal agency documents include proof of receipt of Social Security Disability Income (SSDI)
or Supplemental Security Income (SSI);
OR

A document issued by a State agency such as the vocational rehabilitation agency, which attests that you have been
medically determined to be eligible to receive vocational rehabilitation agency benefits or services as a result of
medically determined blindness or permanent disability. Showing a State motor vehicle department disability
sticker, license plate or hang tag is not acceptable documentation;
Obtaining a Pass Through the Mail
To obtain an Access pass through the mail you must complete this application, provide proof of citizenship or residency,
documentation of disability and pay the processing fee. The cost of obtaining an Access pass through the mail is ten
dollars ($10) for processing the application. (The pass is free.)
Obtaining a Pass in Person
If you apply for an Access Pass at a federal recreation site you do NOT need to fill out this application. When you arrive at
the recreation site, the officer selling the pass will verify your documentation of disability and that you are a U.S. citizen or
permanent resident by checking your ID. You will then be issued the Pass. The Pass is free if obtained in person, there is
no processing fee. Before making a trip to obtain a Pass, be sure to contact the site to ensure that they have passes
available.
Replacement Passes
Lost or stolen Passes cannot be replaced at this time. If your pass has been lost or stolen you must purchase a new one.
Worn or damaged Passes can be replaced free of charge at any recreation site where Passes are issued, or through the mail
by returning the Pass with this application and paying the ten dollar ($10) processing fee.
