How to Apply for Visitation at Everglades Re-Entry: Step-by-Step (and What to Expect)
Visiting at Everglades Re-Entry starts with a Florida Department of Corrections visitation application. Fill it out carefully, submit it the right way, and wait for approval before showing up. That alone will help you avoid the most common delays and denials.
Everyone age 12 and older must complete the visitor form, and it must be signed or it won't be processed. Florida DOC limits you to one form per person, so don't submit duplicates for the same visitor. Don't leave any blanks, either. Blank items can trigger a denial. If a question doesn't apply to you, write "NA" (not applicable) instead of leaving it empty.
Start by getting the Florida DOC Request for Visitation Privileges form and filling it out completely. Submit only one application per visitor, and make sure the visitor signs in the space provided. Unsigned forms won't be processed. Treat every field as required. If something truly doesn't apply, write "NA" so your form doesn't get denied for missing information.
Tip: Don't leave any blanks on the application. If an item doesn't apply to you, write "NA" (not applicable) so the form isn't denied for missing information.
Be accurate and truthful on every line. False or misleading information can get your application denied. The form also warns that providing false information is a second-degree misdemeanor and could lead to permanent suspension of your visitation privileges. Expect a criminal background check as part of the process.
Step3 Where How Submit
- ✓ Submit the completed form by e-mail to the institution where you are requesting to visit
- ✓ Submit the completed form by U.S. Mail to the institution where you are requesting to visit

Pre Submission Checklist
- ✓ Every visitor age 12 and older completed their own form
- ✓ The visitor signed the form (unsigned forms are not processed)
- ✓ You submitted only one form per person
- ✓ No blanks were left anywhere on the application (use “NA” when something does not apply)

Before you hit send or drop it in the mail, take one last pass for accuracy. False information can mean an automatic denial. The form warns it can also lead to permanent suspension of visitation privileges and potential criminal consequences. Background checks will be run, so slow down and make sure everything you wrote is complete and true.
