Before Your First Visit at Charles B. Webster Detention Center: What ID You Need and When to Arrive

You'll need a picture ID to visit at Charles B. Webster Detention Center. The facility accepts a valid Georgia driver's license (or a valid driver's license from another state), a valid passport, or a valid military ID. That's it - no other forms of identification will work. Show up without one of these, and you'll be turned away. Double-check your wallet before you leave home.

Make sure your visit is scheduled and approved before you make the trip. Charles B. Webster Detention Center doesn't allow walk-in visits - everything has to be set up and approved ahead of time.

You must check in 15 minutes prior to your scheduled visit time. Build that buffer into your drive and parking time so you're not rushing.
