# §1254.10. For how long and where is my researcher identification card valid?

- (a) Your card is valid for 1 year and may be renewed. Cards we issue at one NARA facility are valid at each facility, except as described in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section. Cards are not transferable and you must present your card if a guard or research room attendant requests to see it.
- (b) At NARA facilities in the Washington, DC, area and other NARA facilities that issue and use plastic researcher identification cards as part of their security systems, we issue a plastic card to replace the paper card issued at some NARA facilities at no charge. The plastic card is valid at all NARA facilities.
