How to Schedule Your First Visit Using GTL VisitMe for CDCR Facilities

GTL VisitMe is the official CDCR scheduling site for managing visits with your incarcerated loved one. The main benefit? Reserving a time slot ahead of time, which can help you skip long lines at the facility. Once you book, you get instant confirmation that your visit is locked in.

1. Go to the GTL VisitMe log on page for CDCR: This is where you will see options for returning users and new users.
2. Select “CLAIM ACCOUNT”: New users use the “CLAIM ACCOUNT” link to create or claim a GTL VisitMe account.
3. Finish setup, then sign in to manage visits: Once your account is claimed, you will use the same site to schedule and manage upcoming visits.

If you have used GTL VisitMe before, sign in as a returning user with your Visitor ID or email address, plus your password. Not sure which one you used? Try the option that matches how you originally set up the account. Both work on the sign-in screen.

Once signed in, use GTL VisitMe to reserve your visitation time. Booking ahead is what helps you avoid long waits at the facility. When you finish scheduling, look for the on-screen confirmation. Visits are confirmed instantly through the system.

If you want to read the official policies tied to the scheduling site, GTL VisitMe includes links to its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, both hosted at legal.telmate.com. The page also displays a copyright line for ViaPath Technologies (© 2015-2026 ViaPath Technologies). This can help you confirm you are on the official CDCR GTL VisitMe site when reviewing policies or looking for support.
