SRS Visitor Guide

Driving rules and hand-held electronic devices Driving: Traffic safety laws are strictly enforced at SRS. Obey posted speed limits and traffic signs on SRS roadways and parking lots. If you become lost, stop where it is safe to do so and ask for directions or call 3-3911 from a Site landline or 803-725-1911 from a cell phone.

Hand-held electronic devices: SRS is a hands-free site. Pull off the road when it is safe and park before using any device that may cause distraction.

To protect workers and government property, SRS maintains a high level of security. At SRS, you will encounter Centerra-SRS Law Enforcement Officers in numerous locations. Understanding our security practices will help your visit go smoothly.

Any person convicted of a security violation is subject to federal penalty or punishment. Visitors to SRS who encounter security problems must advise their SRS host/escort.

Identification (ID) for Badging: All visitors must be badged through SRS Visitor Control, located in Building 703-46A. Individuals must provide one of the following current ID documents: U.S. Passport, REAL ID-compliant Driver’s License (gold circle with white star), Enhanced Driver’s License, HSPD-12 PIV Card or DoD Common Access Card (CAC) - except CACs with blue bar.

Visitor’s who do not possess one of the above IDs will have to present two forms of ID before a badge can be issued. Current photo ID in the form of a driver’s license or state or federally-issued ID is mandatory; the other form should contain your legal name (e.g., Social Security card, certified birth certificate, voters registration, etc.). Note: If you use a student ID with photo, you must also present a certified birth certificate and Social Security card.

For a complete listing of required IDs, go to: http://www.srs.gov/general/ tour/acceptable_id.pdf or call the SRS badge office at (803) 952-2343.

Escorts: Visitors must be accompanied at all times by an escort with an appropriate security badge when entering a security area. Please stay with your escort at all times. Visitors are not required to be escorted on the general Site Property Protection Area (PPA). Your site point-of-contact will identify these areas if applicable.

Vehicle Access to SRS: Visitors bringing a vehicle on SRS property must have in their possession a valid driver’s license, proof of vehicle insurance and proof of registration.

Personal Property Inspections: Visitors’ vehicles will be inspected at the Site barricade by Centerra-SRS and K-9 units. When you enter SRS control points, Centerra officers must touch your badge to confirm your identification. Also, they may inspect any of your hand-carried items.
