REAL ID Implementation for Access to Argonne
Dear NSF’s ChemMatCARS Users,
ARGONNE SITE ACCESS REQUIRES REAL ID CREDENTIALS STARTING May 03, 2023
Starting Wednesday, May 3, 2023, site access credentials used to enter Argonne property must be REAL ID compliant. Persons without a REAL ID license will be required to provide other forms of identification before site access can be granted. Details on compliant documents can be found here.
This requirement applies to all non-employees, 18 years of age or older including facility users, resident users, visitors, vendors, etc.
Resident staff who have not yet provided REAL ID compliant ID/documents, will be contacted by Security. Long-term badges will not be issued past May 3 without submission of REAL ID documentation. Resident staff can reach out directly to the AIC for information on the REAL ID status.
QUESTIONS should be sent to heysecurity@anl.gov.
Our Mission
NSF’s ChemMatCARS operates three experimental stations in the areas of advanced small-molecule crystallography, liquid surface and interface scattering, and small to wide-angle scattering at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), the premier undulator-based synchrotron source of high-brilliance high-energy x-rays in the U.S.A. The instrumentation at NSF’s ChemMatCARS provides information that addresses a broad range of issues in chemistry and materials research. NSF’s ChemMatCARS is supported by the Divisions of Chemistry (CHE) and Materials Research (DMR), National Science Foundation, under grant number NSF/CHE-1834750 (click here for detail). Construction of a second beamline at NSF’s ChemMatCARS is supported by NSF grant CHE-1836674 with contributions from the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities within the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences and NSF Divisions in Chemistry (CHE), Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB), and Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems Engineering (CBET) (click here for detail).
