Visiting Bolduc with Children: rules, documentation, and special restrictions (FAQ)
Bringing a child to visit someone at Bolduc is doable, but the rules are specific—especially around who can escort a minor and what paperwork you need. Use this FAQ to get your documents in order and avoid being turned away at the door.
At Bolduc, a minor (anyone under 18) can’t visit on their own. A parent or legal guardian must accompany the child to the visit.
A minor can visit with a different adult, but it takes extra steps. The accompanying adult needs written permission from the child's parent or legal guardian, plus prior approval from the Chief Administrative Officer (or a designee).
Documents for Child
- ✓ Government-issued identification card for the minor
- ✓ Certified birth certificate for the minor
The adult bringing the child needs ID too. Every visit, adult visitors must show government-issued photo identification - a driver's license works.
Tip: Make a copy or scan of the child’s document (ID or certified birth certificate) before you go, so you have a backup if something gets misplaced.
There's one exception to the
Some cases have victim-contact restrictions that can block a visit even with the right ID and escort. If the resident is in DOC custody for domestic violence, a sex offense, child abuse, or child neglect, they cannot receive visits from the victim of that offense - unless the Commissioner (or designee) grants a waiver.
