Official Government/Military Travel Orders/Proof of Official Duty Status (some hotels may require travel orders in addition to another form of ID)
U.S. Military ID card issued to U.S. Military Personnel on Official Travel
Common Access Card (CAC) issued to U.S. Federal Government civilian employees and U.S. Military Personnel on Official Travel (excludes CAC cards issued to contractors and retired military)
U.S. Federal Government issued Visa, MasterCard or American Express Card (i.e. SmartPay Credit Card)

For State and Local Government Per Diem Rates:

Official Travel orders on original state or local government letterhead

For Government Rates for Countries Outside the U.S. and Canada:

Contact the hotel regarding eligibility and ID requirements to obtain the rate

If, for some reason you cannot provide one of these forms of identification, Marriott will provide you the Best Available Rate offered by the hotel to the public.

In a continuing effort to provide you with better service, we can now pre-qualify your Federal Government Rate reservation (and not require ID at check-in) if you book your stay with your U.S. Federal Government-issued credit card.
