How to Schedule a Visit at Bergen County Jail (use the GTL VisitMe portal)
Visiting someone at Bergen County Jail gets easier once you understand their scheduling system. Here's how to book through the GTL VisitMe portal—and the timing rules you need to know.
Bergen County Jail handles all visit requests through the GTL VisitMe portal. You'll use it to sign in, request visits, and manage your schedule.
Visits require at least 24 hours advance notice. If you're hoping to visit tomorrow, get your request in today.
Bergen County schedules visits from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily. That wide window helps if you're working around a job, childcare, or transportation - just remember you still need to request 24 hours ahead.
Each visit lasts a minimum of 15 minutes. If you're coordinating rides or planning around someone else's schedule, build your plans around that baseline.
Only two adult visitors can attend at a time. If more people want to visit, you'll need to schedule separate appointments.
After submitting your request, check your email. You'll get a confirmation message letting you know if the visit was approved or denied.
