Visitor Control Center Locations:

LAAFB: We are located in Bldg. 260, just to the immediate left of the Los Angeles AFB entrance, just past the fence line leading to the Douglas Street main gate. The facility is a state-of-the-art Visitor Control Center. We prepare and issue temporary visitor passes, vehicle passes, and DBIDS passes. We also coordinate access for special events, contractors, companies, vendors, and visitors, including Aerospace Corporation, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, United Launch Alliance, SpaceX and others in support of Space Systems Command or Los Angeles AFB mission requirements.

Fort MacArthur: Temporary visitor passes for the housing areas are issued 24/7 at the gate. We are here in order to help serve our geographically separated locations at Fort MacArthur, Pacific Heights, and Pacific Crest Housing areas.

Processing procedures:

Visitors can obtain entry by having their sponsor meet them at the Visitor Control Center in order to assist them in getting a temporary visitor pass. Visitors over the age of 18 must have a valid picture ID to be allowed access to the base. (Processing procedures are subject to change depending on current FPCON/HPCON levels.) EAL's are only used for 3 or more visitors. Under 3 visitors requires a guest pass issued at the VCC.

You can print and email the Entry Approval List (EAL). 

Los Angeles Air Force Base and Fort MacArthur Housing areas allow Trusted Traveler, meaning eligible ID card holders can sponsor individuals at a ratio of 5:1, traveling in the same vehicle onto base. Each member in the vehicle over the age of 18 must have a valid license or form of identification.
