Register As a User
By registering, you begin the administrative steps required to gain approval for you to enter the Argonne site and to do hands-on work at the APS.
Argonne National Laboratory is a controlled-access facility. When you visit Argonne (and APS) for the first time, you must obtain permission in advance. Special considerations apply to persons who are not U.S. citizens. Please DO NOT come to Argonne until you have received confirmation from the User Office that permission has been granted for your visit.
You may bring people who will not be doing hands-on work (collaborators, students, family members), but they must also be approved for access (see Visitor Registration).
