Extremely IMPORTANT notes regarding human registration:
These notes apply to human registration only. You are a human if you are not a goon, official speaker, village staff, press, black badge holder, or similar. (If you are one of those, you need to register separately. If you don't know how, see an NFO goon (infobooth).

- Badges are required for everyone ages 8 and older.
- If you pre-registered, please ensure that your QR code is readily accessible. If you will be presenting it on a smartphone, please ensure that your display is set to maximum brightness as you near the front of the line.
- If you did not pre-register, all badge sales are CASH ONLY! No checks, money orders, credit cards, IOUs, or anything else will be accepted. Please have EXACT CHANGE ready as you near the front of the line.
- If you purchase a DEF CON badge from BlackHat, please get your badge from BlackHat before they close.
- If you lose your badge, there is no way for us to replace it. You'll have to buy a replacement at full price.
- Hackers with Disabilities- If you are being accompanied by a full-time caretaker (such as someone who will push your wheelchair, and will accompany you at all times), please ask to speak to a Registration Goon. Your caretaker will receive a paper badge that will permit them to accompany you everywhere you go.
- A generic receipt for the cash sale of a badge will be made available on media.defcon.org after the conference. You are welcome to print your own copy of the receipt, if you need a receipt. Printed receipts are not available at the time of purchase.
- Please help us make this a great experience for everyone: follow directions given by goons and get in the correct line. Note that there may be one line for all of registration, or there may be two lines (pre-registration vs cash) -- this may change based on available staffing and necessary crowd control.
- Please be patient. The time listed in Hacker Tracker for the beginning of registration (0700-) is approximate. We will begin processing the line on Thursday morning as soon as the cashiers and materials are in place.
- There are no refunds given for cash sales. If you have any doubt, do not buy the badge.
- If you have questions about anything regarding registration, that are not addressed here, please ask to speak to a Registration Goon.
