Order Early!
The White House requests at least six weeks notice, but it is currently taking "several months" to send the cards out. So the earlier you get your request in, the better chance you have of it arriving in time for the big event.
Required Information
Be sure to include the following details in your request:
- name and home address of birthday celebrant
- title or form of address (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.)
- exact date of occasion, including the month, day and year
- age
- veteran status (if applicable)
- requestor's name and phone number if you're requesting this for another person
- any specific mailing instructions if other than to the celebrant's address
3 Ways to Request a White House Greeting Card
1. Fastest: By Email
You can fill out the information on The White House Contact Page with your request. You'll need to leave your email address as well as your phone number.
2. By Mail
Mail your request (at least 6 weeks early) to:
The White House
Attn: Greetings Office
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
3. From Your Congressman
You can also submit your request through your U. S. Senator or your U. S. Representative.
The links above will take you to the list of all the U. S. Congressmen. From there, click on your local U. S. Senator or Representative to go to each individual's website.

If nothing is listed, email your Congressman through his or her website email form.
When Will the Card Arrive?
