About the Senior Pass:
The Senior Pass is a lifetime pass available to United States citizens or permanent residents 62 years of age or
older. 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 vary 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 Senior 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 photo identification to verify that you are a U.S.
citizen or permanent resident 62 years of age or older, which could include:
A US State or Territory issued Drivers License or Identification
A US Passport or Passport Card
A Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
Obtaining a Pass Through the Mail
To obtain a Senior Pass through the mail you must complete this application, provide a photocopy of proof of
age and citizenship or residency and pay the processing fee. The cost of obtaining a Senior Pass through the
mail is twenty dollars ($20). Ten ($10) for the Senior Pass and ten ($10) for processing the application.
Obtaining a Pass in Person
If you apply for a Senior 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 age 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 ten dollars ($10) 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.
