| PLEASE MAKE YOUR REQUEST AT LEAST TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. Due to high volume and a lengthy screening process, requests are currently taking several months to complete. However, they are being handled in as timely a manner as possible. Requests must be made for future events; they cannot be granted for occasions that took place before the date of the request. The White House prefers requests be made by email using the electronic form located at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact; requests may also be made using the fax number above or mailed to the above address.
