(a) In General. As used in this rule, “court facility” includes any facility occupied by the
United States District Court.
(b) Identification. All persons entering a court facility in the Northern District of Oklahoma
are required to present a valid government-issued identification card with photo. A List of
Acceptable Identifications is available on the Court’s website. Any visitor under the age of
18 without an adult escort, who offers a school-issued identification card, shall be allowed
access to the court facility. Any person who refuses to present a valid form of identification
shall be denied entrance.
(c) Screening. All visitors to a court facility must pass through a security screening device and
have all belongings and packages subject to physical and/or security screening examination
by the United States Marshals Service, court security officers, and employees of the Federal
Protective Service. Any person who refuses to pass through screening shall be denied
entrance. Whenever any person who activates the detector wishes to gain access to court
facilities, such person must submit to a reasonable, limited search of his or her person and
property in order to determine the existence of, if any, illegal, explosive, or dangerous items
that might cause injury to persons or property.
