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. Attorney ID cards are issued by the U.S. Marshals Service by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, please contact the human resources office between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. at 404-215-1750, at least 24 hours in advance of the preferred date for obtaining the card.

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.
