You're first day here; you must park your vehicle and go into the Pass & ID office. If you are a U.S. citizen, you must provide a valid birth certificate or passport. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must provide a valid passport. Government personnel and vehicles should be able to proceed directly to the facility. If you are in a private vehicle, you must provide a valid driver’s license, registration, and vehicle insurance identification at the Pass and ID office. If in a rented car, show the auto rental agreement.
After vehicle inspection (first day only) in the high bay, and subsequent inspection at the second small guardhouse, you will be instructed to wait for an escort or drive ahead. If waved on, go to the first stop sign and turn right. Continue straight to the next stop sign and turn left (follow signs to the Ohmsett Facility). Continue on this road out toward the bay, keeping parallel with the railroad tracks on your right. Just after the tracks (but before the pier guardhouse), turn right onto a gravel road, cross railroad yard, go thru the gates, and turn right into the Ohmsett facility parking lot.
