How to Identify a Census Taker
Census takers began interviewing households around the country that have not yet responded online, by phone or by mail to the 2020 Census.

If you receive a visit from a Census Bureau employee, the employee will present an official Identification badge that will include:

  • Their name
  • Their photograph
  • A Department of Commerce watermark
  • An expiration date
You can also look for:

  • An official 2020 Census bag
  • A Census Bureau issued iPhone

Census takers will follow public health guidelines when they visit. Specifically, Census takers are trained to:

  • Wear a mask
  • Conduct the interview outside a home in an open, well-ventilated space, when possible
  • Allow 6 feet of space between them and the person they are interviewing
  • Not allow anyone else to handle Census Bureau equipment

The best way to avoid a visit from a census taker at home is to complete the 2020 Census online.
