What ID You Need to Visit Someone at B.B. Rayburn (and What Counts)

Before you can enter the visiting area at B.B. Rayburn Corrections Center, you’ll need to register with staff at check-in. If you’re 18 or older, you’re required to show a picture ID every single time you visit - not just your first visit.

What ID You Need to Visit Someone at B.B. Rayburn (and What Counts)

Accepted Forms of ID

  • ✓ Valid driver’s license from your state of residence
  • ✓ Valid state photo identification card from your state of residence
  • ✓ Valid military photo identification card (active duty only)

Show up without an accepted photo ID? You won't get in. B.B. Rayburn follows Louisiana DPS&C visitor rules - everyone 18 and older must present photo identification at every visit. There's no talking your way past the check-in desk.

  1. Contact the facility before your visit - if you need ADA accommodations, reach out in advance so staff can tell you what to do at check-in.
  2. Plan to register with staff when you arrive - registration happens before you enter the visiting area, so build in a little extra time if you’ll need assistance.

Note: If you need ADA accommodations for visiting, contact the facility in advance of your visit so you’re not trying to sort it out at the door.
