It is available to US citizens or permanent residents with permanent disabilities. Applicants must provide documentation of permanent disability and residency or citizenship.
How to purchase:
- In person: Find a location to purchase this pass at a federal recreation site.
- Online: Order this free pass from the USGS Store.
- Mail: Purchase an Access Pass using an application form (558KB PDF) that can be exchanged through mail. The cost of obtaining an Access Pass through the mail is $10 for processing the application (the pass is free)
Don’t forget about the National Parks FREE For Veterans and Gold Star Families, National Park Service: FREE Annual Pass For Active Military (Reg $80), and FREE 4th Grader Pass!
