Must have a form ANL-593 completed and approved prior to arrival. This form is automatically completed and submitted by the user facility when you register. ADDITIONALLY, an indices check must be completed before you will be allowed access to the Argonne National Laboratory site. The user facility requests this check for you automatically; you do not need to take any action beyond the submission of your registration form.

About Indices Checks
Effective Friday, April 14, 2000, all non-U.S. citizens who are citizens of, born in, or whose employers are located in sensitive countries MUST have an indices check completed before they will be permitted to enter the Argonne site. This approval process generally takes a minimum of 6-12 weeks to complete. Any non-U.S. citizen from a sensitive country who plans to work at one or more of the Argonne National Laboratory user facilities must register at least 12 weeks in advance. The facility user office will notify the user as soon as access has been approved. In addition, the user office will ensure that indices checks for badged users are renewed before they expire. No further action is required by users to renew indices checks. Please note that these same requirements also apply to any visitors from sensitive countries coming to the APS. Please contact the appropriate facility user office for help with completing the appropriate paperwork for your potential visitors (APS: 630-252-9090, CNM: 630-252-6952, EMC: 630-252-4987). This requirement applies until further notice.
