All visitors must provide valid identification before visiting any SMUD campus, facility or SMUD-owned property.

Required identification

Visitors must provide a valid SMUD employee badge or identification card to security personnel maintaining the visitor log. Examples include:

• State-issued REAL-ID compliant driver’s license
• US passport
• Certified true copy of birth certificate
• Documents as established by Security Operations

Requirements for non-US citizens or foreign nationals

The following process applies to all visitors, delegations, contractors and non-SMUD employees who are neither a US citizen nor a legal permanent resident (foreign national).

The foreign national’s sponsor must report their identity information to SMUD's Cybersecurity Operations (CyberSecurity@smud.org) and Physical Security (PhysicalSecurity@smud.org) at least two weeks prior to the visit:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Passport number
• Passport country
• Country of origin (where you’re coming to the US from)
• Organization

The foreign national’s point of contact will maintain all contact information in accordance with all SMUD policies and procedures governing the protection of personally identifiable information (PII). 

Upon arrival at the SMUD facility, foreign nationals must have their identify verified by security personnel with a valid government-issued identification. If visiting a remote location, the identification must be presented to the visitor sponsor and/or designated escort.
