How to Apply for Visiting Privileges at Holmes Correctional Institution
Getting approved to visit at Holmes Correctional Institution starts with the Florida Department of Corrections visitation application. Complete it carefully and submit it correctly—avoidable errors are the most common reason applications get denied.
Anyone 12 years old or older must complete their own visitation application form. This includes teenagers - don't assume a minor can be added to your visit later without their own paperwork.
Fill out every field on the application. If a question doesn't apply to you, write
Warning: Blank sections or false/misleading information can get your visitation application denied, so slow down and double-check everything before you submit.
Once your form is complete, submit it to Holmes CI by email or U.S. Mail. Make sure you're using Holmes CI's submission information - not another facility's.
If you’re submitting by email, send the completed visitation application to: VisitappHolmesCI@fdc.myflorida.com.
Submit one application per visitor. Sending duplicates creates confusion and slows everything down. Focus on getting your first submission right.
Note: Don’t attempt to visit Holmes CI until the inmate notifies you that your visitation application has been approved.
Common Mistakes That Lead to Denial
- ✓ Leaving any blanks on the application instead of completing every field
