How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
First, get approved: submit a completed Visitation Request Form to Baldwin County Jail so the incarcerated person can add you to their approved list. You can't schedule anything until this step is done. Once approved, request a visit through the Georgia Department of Corrections online visitation form and pick an available session. If you're a significant other who isn't immediate family, the offender must submit a Significant Relationship Visitor Application to the Warden/Superintendent for review. After you have an appointment, use the facility's Add Visitor link to bring others along, or the Cancel my visit link if plans change. Deadlines matter: weekend requests are due by 5:00 PM the preceding Wednesday, and state-holiday requests by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. Some ID options require you to be 18+.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.

Want to visit someone in Baldwin County under Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) rules? It starts with one thing: getting on their approved visitor list. Once you know which form applies to your relationship, the process is straightforward.
Scheduling a visit comes down to using the right Georgia DOC form and watching the cutoff times—especially for weekends or state holidays.
The deadline is what usually trips people up. For weekend visits, submit your request by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that same week. Miss that cutoff and you'll have to wait for a later date. Holiday weeks work differently. The cutoff is 5:00 PM three days before the holiday. If you're traveling or coordinating with family, plan around that deadline so you don't lose your slot.
The Georgia Department of Corrections defines "immediate family," and that definition applies during the visitation approval review.
