Old Star Note Lookup: A Guide to Interagency Passes

The Old Star Note lookup is a crucial tool for federal lands volunteers who have completed 250 hours of service, as well as U.S. citizens between the ages of 16-42. This infographic provides a comprehensive overview of the interagency pass program, which offers various options for entrance passes to multiple federal agencies.

At the top of the infographic, it asks if you are a federal lands volunteer who has completed 250 hours of service, pointing to an option for a free Volunteer Pass. Alternatively, if you're between the ages of 16-42, you can opt for an Annual Pass for $80.

The pass options include questions and answers, along with silhouettes of trees and a bison, as well as logos from participating federal agencies such as the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Forest Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service, and US Army Corps of Engineers. The infographic also includes a website link to find more information about these passes.

Funds generated from pass sales help support high-quality experiences for visitors at federal recreation sites. These passes apply to multiple agencies and can be obtained with appropriate ID or documentation.

The interagency pass program offers various options, including the America the Beautiful - National Park and Federal Recreation Lands Pass Series. This pass series covers entrance fees at lands managed by the National Park Service and US Fish & Wildlife Service, as well as standard amenity fees (day use fees) at lands managed by the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and US Army Corps of Engineers.

Passholders must show valid photo identification with each pass. Please note that Interagency Passes are non-refundable, non-transferable, cannot be extended, and cannot be replaced if lost or stolen.

To purchase a pass online, visit the USGS Online Store for detailed information on how to do so. Additionally, many of these passes are available for order from the USGS Online Store, with an estimated three-week processing and delivery time. You can also search for locations near you that issue these interagency passes.

Remember, children ages 15 or under are admitted free, while a pass covers the pass owner and all occupants in a personal vehicle at sites that charge per vehicle, or the pass owner and up to three additional adults (16 and over) at sites that charge per person.
