*Please check TNA's [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/visit%5Cdefault.htm "Visit Us"] webpage for further information, including [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/visit-us/researching-here/do-i-need-a-readers-ticket/ Do I need a reader’s ticket?]. The procedure also includes completing a short online document handling information tutorial, with test questions, similar to the information in [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/visit-us/researching-here/handling-documents/ "Handling documents"]. Some of the more popular records are available on microfilm in the reading rooms (Read the description of the records you are interested in to find out whether this applies). Readers' tickets are only required if you want to look at original documents. *:Car parking charges will be introduced from 3 April 2018. ‘Blue Badge’ holders will continue to be able to park without charge, in designated parking bays.
*Some resources and documents may be photographed – see [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/photopolicy.pdf Self-Service Photography of Records: Policy] (Currently located under Visit us/What’s on/While you’re here/Guidance for visitors). For better photographic images, a researcher recommended selecting a table by the windows, for the light provided – these tables also contain camera stands.<ref>Mike L.
