How to Fill Out Florida's DC6-111A Visitation Application Without Getting Denied
The DC6-111A trips people up on a few strict points: you must wait for approval before visiting, you can't leave any blanks, and everything has to be accurate. Here's how to fill it out right the first time.
Don't show up to visit just because you submitted the form. Florida DOC is clear: wait until the inmate tells you your application has been approved. Show up before that, and you'll likely be turned away at the door - after spending the time and money to get there.
Anyone 12 or older needs to complete their own DC6-111A. That cutoff matters. A teenager can't be "added later" or covered under someone else's paperwork - they need a full application, or the visit gets delayed.
One person, one application: Florida DOC allows only one DC6-111A form per person. Submitting multiple forms for the same visitor can create processing confusion and derail approval.
Section 3
- ✓ Fill in every line - do not leave blanks. If something truly doesn’t apply, write “NA” (not applicable).
- ✓ Enter your identification details exactly as they appear on your ID.
- ✓ State your relationship to the inmate.
- ✓ Provide complete contact information.
- ✓ Sign in the space provided (an unsigned form won’t be processed).
Blank spaces are one of the fastest ways to get denied. The form is processed based on what's written - missing information won't be assumed. If a question doesn't apply to you, write "NA" so it's clear you didn't skip it.
Two things trigger automatic denial: leaving blanks and providing false or misleading information. Florida DOC won't process incomplete forms, and inaccurate details get rejected too. Don't guess, use nicknames, or round numbers. Take a minute to verify everything before you submit.
Don’t risk a denial: Supplying false or misleading information on the DC6-111A results in the application being denied.
Once the DC6-111A is complete, submit it by email or U.S. Mail to the institution where you want to visit. Make a copy first - you'll want a record of exactly what you submitted in case you need to correct something later. Then wait. Don't try to visit until the inmate confirms your application was approved.
Section 6
- ✓ If the visitor is 12 or older, make sure they completed a DC6-111A.
- ✓ Confirm you submitted only one DC6-111A per person.
- ✓ Scan the whole form for blanks - write “NA” anywhere a question doesn’t apply.
- ✓ Verify every detail is truthful and not misleading.
- ✓ Make sure the form is signed.
- ✓ Don’t go to visit until the inmate notifies you that you’re approved.
Final tip: Before submitting, double-check for blanks and verify all names, numbers, and dates. Keep a copy of what you sent, then wait for the inmate's approval notice. False info or empty fields will get your application denied.
