Scheduling Your First Video Visit at Fayette County Jail: Step-by-Step
Your first video visit at Fayette County Jail is straightforward once you know the steps: create a GTL VisitMe account, upload your ID, book within the allowed window, then arrive on time to use a lobby kiosk.
Start by registering on the GTL VisitMe portal for Fayette County Jail. You'll need an account before you can see available times or book anything. Do this early if you're hoping to snag a specific day - slots fill up.
Note: All visits are subject to monitoring, recording, and review, so assume anything said or done during the visit can be watched later.
During registration, you'll upload a clear photo of your government-issued ID. This step is mandatory. It's also separate from check-in on visit day - you'll still need to show a valid photo ID and sign the visitor log when you arrive at the lobby kiosk.
Required: If you refuse to submit a clear photo of your government-issued ID during registration, the visit will be denied.
Bringing a child? The inmate's natural or adopted child can visit if they're with an authorized adult. Bring a birth certificate just in case - staff may ask for it.
When Cancel
- ✓ Schedule your visit at least 24 hours in advance.
- ✓ Don’t schedule more than 14 days ahead.
- ✓ Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time.
- ✓ Keep the weekly limit in mind: inmates are permitted one 30-minute visit per week.
Timing matters on visit day. Arrive no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled start time. Show up earlier, and you'll be asked to wait outside - no hanging out in the lobby. When you enter, present your photo ID and sign the visitor log.
- Arrive within the 10-minute window - come no more than 10 minutes before your scheduled start time.
- Enter the lobby at your prescheduled time - approved visitors are allowed into the jail lobby for their scheduled session.
- Sign into the visitor log and show your photo ID - you’ll check in before you begin the visit.
- Use one of the four visitation kiosks - you’ll complete the video visit at a lobby kiosk while the inmate stays on their housing unit and uses that unit’s kiosk.
Before you start scheduling, confirm you're eligible. You must be at least 18 to register. And if you were previously incarcerated at Fayette County Jail, you won't be approved to visit a current inmate until 60 days after your release.
If your visit is denied: Check that your account details and ID upload are complete and clear. Visits are monitored and recorded, so follow the visitation policy closely. For help rescheduling, contact the facility or GTL VisitMe support.
