Members of the bar of the Northern District of Georgia may apply for an attorney photo ID card (also known as the “blue card”). Attorneys issued this card may bring cellular telephones and other electronic devices with cameras or recording capability into the federal courthouses of the Northern District of Georgia without a court order. To obtain an Attorney ID card, attorneys first must report to the human resources office located on the 20th floor. The U.S. Marshals Service issues ID cards Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding the lunch break between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. No appointment is required.

Although an ID card previously may have been issued with an expiration date, the card continues to be valid and accepted while the holder remains a member in good standing of the bar of the Northern District of Georgia. The card is the property of the U.S. Marshals Service.
