How to Apply for Visitation at Appalachee Correctional Institution (and Avoid Common Mistakes)

Anyone 12 or older who wants to visit someone at Appalachee Correctional Institution needs to complete the Florida Department of Corrections visitation application. Each visitor applies separately. If multiple people in your family plan to visit, everyone who meets the age cutoff needs their own paperwork.

Use the official Florida DOC form called DC6-111A (Request for Visitation Privileges). One application per visitor. Sending duplicates for the same person just creates delays.

• ✓ Complete every field on the form, do not leave any blanks.
• ✓ If a question does not apply to you, write “NA” (not applicable) instead of leaving it empty.

Send your completed DC6-111A directly to Appalachee Correctional Institution. Florida DOC accepts submissions by email or U.S. Mail. Pick whichever works for you, but double-check you're sending it to the right facility.

Common Mistakes Checklist

• ✓ Leaving blanks anywhere on the form (use “NA” when a question does not apply)
• ✓ Providing false or misleading information
• ✓ Submitting more than one application for the same visitor
• ✓ Sending the completed form somewhere other than the institution where you are requesting to visit (for Appalachee CI, it must go to Appalachee CI)
• ✓ Using the wrong submission method (Florida DOC accepts e-mail or U.S. Mail)

After submitting, the hardest part is waiting. Don't show up expecting to get in. Wait until the inmate tells you your application has been approved. Only approved visitors will be admitted.

1. Re-check the form for blanks: Any blank can trigger a denial. If something does not apply, write “NA” instead.
2. Fix anything that is inaccurate: False or misleading information can result in denial, so correct errors before you submit again.
3. Confirm you sent it to the right place: The completed form must be submitted (by e-mail or U.S. Mail) to the institution where you are requesting to visit, which is Appalachee Correctional Institution.
4. Submit one clean application per visitor: Do not send multiple forms for the same person.
5. Contact the institution if you are unsure what went wrong: If you cannot tell whether the issue was a blank, an incorrect detail, or where it was sent, reach out to the institution for guidance before reapplying.
