How to Schedule a Visit at Atlantic County Justice Facility (Step‑by‑Step)

Scheduling a visit at Atlantic County Justice Facility takes a few steps, but it's straightforward once you know the process. First, confirm you're on the Approved Visitor List - no approval means no visit. Next, sign up online at least 48 hours before the inmate's scheduled visitation day and select the correct housing area during booking. On visit day, bring a valid government-issued photo ID and arrive early enough to check in at least 15 minutes before your visit starts.

Before scheduling anything, confirm you're on the Approved Visitor List. This isn't optional - if your name isn't on the list, you won't be allowed in, even with a confirmed booking.

Once you're approved, schedule your visit online - and give yourself plenty of lead time. The facility requires sign-up at least 48 hours before the inmate's scheduled visitation day. Planning a weekend visit? Book early so you don't miss the cutoff.

During booking, you'll need to select the housing unit where the inmate is currently housed. Get this right - your available visit times depend on this selection, and choosing the wrong area could leave you with the wrong schedule.

Step4 ID Checkin

• ✓ Valid government-issued photo ID
• ✓ ID must show your name
• ✓ ID must show your address
• ✓ ID must show your date of birth

Plan your arrival around check-in time. You need to be present and checked in at least 15 minutes before your visit starts. Build in extra time for parking and the check-in line - showing up a few minutes late can mean losing your visit entirely.

Before locking in a time, make sure your group fits the facility's limits. Atlantic County Justice Facility allows no more than two adults and two children per visit. Inmates can only have one visit per day, so if someone else has already booked that day, you'll need to pick another.

1. Gather the details from your registration - you’ll need the visit date, visit time, the visitor’s last name used when registering, and the email used when registering.
2. Submit the cancellation using the facility’s cancellation process - enter the information exactly as it appears on the registration so they can match your visit.
3. Keep a record of what you submitted - write down the date/time you canceled and the details you used, in case you need to follow up later.

Call the facility if you can't find the inmate's housing area in the scheduling system, you're not showing as approved on the visitor list, or you're inside the 48-hour window and need guidance. It's also worth calling if you're unsure whether your ID meets requirements or have a timing issue on visit day.
