How to Get Approved for Visitation at Everglades Re-Entry (step-by-step)

To get approved to visit at Everglades Re-Entry, you’ll need to complete the Florida Department of Corrections Request for Visitation Privileges form. Everyone who wants to visit and is age 12 or older has to complete their own form.

The form comes in Spanish and English - the English version is printed on the reverse side. Handy if you want to compare wording or double-check you're filling out the same fields.

A few basics trip people up. Blank fields are the biggest culprit - even one empty line can get your application denied, so write

Once you've filled everything out and signed it, submit the form to the institution by email or U.S. Mail. Send the final version - complete and signed - so there's no delay in processing.

For Everglades, you can submit visitation applications by e-mail to: VisitappEvergladesCI@fdc.myflorida.com.

After you submit, wait. Don't show up to visit until the inmate tells you your application has been approved.

Preflight Checklist

• ✓ Every visitor age 12 or older completed their own form
• ✓ No blanks anywhere (use “NA” when something doesn’t apply)
• ✓ The form is signed in the space provided
• ✓ You submitted only one application per person

1. Check for blanks - Go line by line and make sure nothing is left empty; write “NA” anywhere a question doesn’t apply.
2. Confirm the form is signed - If the signature line is missing, the form won’t be processed.
3. Make sure you didn’t submit duplicates - Florida DOC allows only one form per person, so stick to a single application.
4. Correct the form and resubmit - Once you’ve fixed the issue, submit the completed form again by e-mail or U.S. Mail to the institution.
