How to Get on the Approved Visitor List at Caswell CC

Caswell CC won't let you visit until your visitor application is approved. Staff review every application before granting access, so your goal is to submit a complete, legible form that's ready to process the first time.

Even after approval, visits are by appointment only. Approval gets you on the list; scheduling gets you in the door. Plan for both - don't show up expecting to be worked in.

Keep the visitor limit in mind as you plan. Each offender can have up to 18 approved visitors total - adults and minors combined. Since that cap is tied to the offender, not to you individually, coordinate with family early so the list doesn't fill up before everyone applies.

One detail that trips people up: the incarcerated person can't submit the application for you. The facility won't accept applications from offenders, so the form has to be completed and submitted from the visitor side.

1. Fill out every part of the form - Don’t skip sections or leave questions blank.
2. Double-check for missing info - A quick review catches the small omissions that hold up processing.
3. Only submit when it’s truly complete - Incomplete visitor applications will not be approved.

ID Docs Adults Minors

• ✓ If you’re age 16 or older, choose one of the approved picture IDs.
• ✓ Attach a copy of that picture ID to your visitor application.

• ✓ If the applicant is under age 16, attach a copy of the minor’s birth certificate to the visitor application.

Once your paperwork is ready, remember that Caswell CC staff must approve your completed application before any visit can happen. Follow their instructions closely for turning in the form - getting it to the right place ensures it actually gets reviewed.

If your application is taking a long time - or gets rejected - start with the basics. Incomplete applications won't be approved, and missing attachments can stall everything. Double-check that anyone 16 or older included a copy of an approved picture ID, and that any minor under 16 has a birth certificate copy attached.

1. Call or email Caswell CC - Ask whether your application is approved and, if not, what needs to be fixed.
2. Schedule only after you have clarity - Visits are set by appointment, so you’ll want confirmation before making plans.
3. Call the day before you travel - Confirm the facility’s visitation status so you don’t make a wasted trip.
