How to set up (and choose a password for) your visitor account for Hamblen County Jail (VendEngine)
Setting up your visitor account is the first step to scheduling a visit at Hamblen County Jail. The password format trips people up more than anything else—so I'll walk you through where to go, what to do, and the exact password rules.
Hamblen County Jail uses VendEngine for visitation scheduling. You'll create your account through the VendEngine visitor portal, then use that same system to book and manage visits.
Your VendEngine password must meet three rules: at least 8 characters, at least 1 lowercase letter, and at least 1 number. Miss any one of these, and the system won't accept it.
Note: If the form keeps rejecting your password, double-check it against all three requirements (8+ characters, 1+ lowercase letter, 1+ number). Missing one of these is the most common reason you can't move forward.
Signup Checklist
- ✓ Open the VendEngine visitor login/scheduling page for Hamblen County Jail.
- ✓ Fill in the account fields shown on the page.
- ✓ Create a password that meets the rules: at least 8 characters, at least 1 lowercase letter, and at least 1 number.
- ✓ Re-enter the same password in the confirmation field.
- ✓ Submit the form to create your visitor account.
Password getting rejected? Start by treating it like a checklist problem. Re-type a password that clearly hits all three rules - 8 or more characters, at least one lowercase letter, at least one number - then submit again. Also check for typos between the "New Password" and "Confirm Password" fields. If those don't match exactly, you won't get through.
Note: Details about password reset/change flows aren’t consistently documented in one place. If you get stuck, follow the options shown inside the VendEngine portal screens you’re using.
Once your account is set up, you'll use VendEngine to schedule visits at Hamblen County Jail. The portal handles both onsite and video visitation, so you'll come back to the same system whenever you need to book or manage a visit.
