The Navajo Nation Film Office

Located at Window Rock, Arizona, the capitol of the Navajo Nation, the Navajo Nation Film Office is owned and operated under the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation Film Office was established in 1974 to issue filming and photography permits, and to evaluate any material that depicts the Navajo culture to ensure accuracy of the content.

The Navajo Nation Film Office has recently implemented new permit fees that were revised in April 1995 by the Navajo Nation Council.

Peak season for processing permits is during the months of May, June, July, August and September, thereafter, requests for permits are relatively low.

The most popular areas on the Navajo Nation are the Monument Valley, Canyon De Chelly and Antelope Canyon parks.
