What is the process to gain access to Quantico Marine Base to attend the Wedding?

Answer

Base Access Information for Our Wedding at Marine Corps Base Quantico Individuals who already have a valid Department of Defense (DoD)–issued identification card—such as a Common Access Card (CAC) or a Teslin card (Retiree, Dependent, Reserve, or Individual Ready Reserve)—may use their credentials to access the base. All other guests must submit their full legal name, date of birth, and Social Security number to Romona no later than September 1st so a background check can be completed for base access authorization. All approved guests will be required to present a valid government‑issued photo ID or one of the authorized DoD IDs listed above when entering Marine Corps Base Quantico. Please plan to arrive early to allow time for security processing. In addition, all guests without a DoD ID must meet with base security personnel on Friday, October 16 to present their REAL ID or U.S. Passport and be issued a base pass for the wedding on Saturday, October 17. Romona and Kelvin will meet groups at the Staybridge Suites in Stafford on the hour from 11 AM to 2 PM to escort guests to the base office to obtain their passes. To schedule a time with them please contact Romona at 703-677-0239 Please note that access will only be granted to invited guests whose names appear on the officially approved guest list.
