What Documents to Bring When Visiting Someone at Dayton Correctional
One forgotten document can turn your trip into a wasted morning. Here's exactly what ID and paperwork you need before heading to Dayton Correctional.
When you fill out the visitation application (DRC-2096), you'll need to include a legible copy of your photo ID. Bring that same ID on visit day. Even though you already submitted a copy, having the original speeds up check-in.
Don't risk getting turned away: Missing documents - custody paperwork, a birth certificate, or an authorization form for a minor - can mean you won't be allowed in.
Bringing a child? Plan to stay with them the entire visit. All visitors under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Sometimes a minor needs to visit with an approved adult who isn't their custodial parent or legal guardian. In that case, bring a notarized Authorization for Minor Child Visitation form.
Reminder: The Authorization for Minor Child Visitation form expires in one year, so check the date before you rely on it for a visit.
- ✓ Birth certificate (if needed to document the child)
- ✓ Custody paperwork (if it applies to your situation)
- ✓ Notarized Authorization for Minor Child Visitation form (if the child is visiting without the custodial parent/legal guardian)
On probation or parole? Include a letter from your probation/parole officer granting permission to visit when you submit your application.

Before you leave: Double-check that your application includes a legible copy of your photo ID. Missing paperwork can get you turned away at the door.
