How to send messages, photos, and packages
Calipatria's online visitation and communication entry points use the GTL visitation portal. New visitors should create a profile using the "CLAIM ACCOUNT" link. Returning visitors can sign in with a Visitor ID or email and password, and there's a "Forgot your password?" option if you get locked out. The portal offers a Spanish language option. You'll also see links to Terms of Use and a Privacy Policy hosted at legal.telmate.com, along with ViaPath Technologies copyright information.
