Visitor Pass Process for Fort Benning Special Events

Welcome to the official information page for obtaining a Visitor Pass for special events at Fort Benning, GA. Please read carefully to ensure you use the correct event code for your visit.

Who Needs a Visitor Pass?

  • You do NOT need a Visitor Pass if you have a Department of War (DoW) or Military ID.
  • All other visitors aged 18+ must obtain a Visitor Pass. Those 18+ must pass a favorable background check and be issued a pass before being allowed unescorted access to the installation.
  • Non-U.S. Citizens: Must stop at the Lindsey Creek Visitor Control Center. You cannot pre-register online.
Remember: Always carry your government-issued photo ID. You will need it to obtain and use your Visitor Pass.

How to Apply for a Special Event Visitor Pass Online:

  1. Start your application here: https://pass.aie.army.mil/steps/branch_selection (Recommended browsers: Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari)
