How to Get Approved to Visit Central Florida Reception Center (Step-by-Step)

Wait until the inmate confirms your visitation application has been approved before heading to Central Florida Reception Center. That approval is what gets you through the door. Show up early - even if you've already mailed or emailed the form - and you could be turned away.

Anyone 12 or older needs to complete the DC6-111A visitation application. That includes teenagers. Planning a family visit? Make sure everyone 12+ has their own application submitted.

Plan ahead for visit day too: if you're 16 or older, bring a valid photo ID. No ID (or an expired one) means you won't get into the visiting area - even with an approved application.

Fill Form

• ✓ Fill in every line - don’t leave blanks (blank fields can cause your application to be denied)
• ✓ If something doesn’t apply to you, write “NA” instead of leaving it empty
• ✓ Give truthful, accurate information (false or misleading information results in denial)
• ✓ Sign the form (an unsigned form won’t be processed)

Use one visitation application per person. If multiple people want to visit, each person needs their own form - don’t combine information onto a single application.

Submit your completed DC6-111A by email or U.S. Mail, following the instructions on the form. One form per person, no duplicates. Then wait - don't travel until the inmate confirms you've been approved.

After submitting, just wait. Don't resend the application "just in case." Don't make the trip until the inmate tells you you're approved.

Quick Checklist

• ✓ No blanks anywhere on the form (use “NA” when something doesn’t apply)
• ✓ One application per person (don’t submit duplicates)
• ✓ All information is truthful and accurate
• ✓ The form is signed before you send it

On the day of the visit, bring a valid photo ID if you’re 16 or older. You’ll need it to enter the visiting area.
