A ZIP code gets mail to a Navy base; it won't get you through the gate. For that you need a sponsor and a visitor pass from the base's Visitor Control Center (VCC). We checked Navy Region Southwest and each installation's access page on November 5, 2026.

Bring the right ID
A REAL ID driver's license or state ID, a U.S. passport, or a DoD ID. Without one you may be turned away or need an escort.
