How to Visit Kings County Jail, CA (CA)

Kings County Jail offers two ways to visit: Remote Video or Onsite Video. Both require you to register as a visitor or schedule ahead of time. Don't plan on showing up without setting it up first.

We don't have confirmed details on current visiting hours, how far in advance you need to schedule, accepted IDs, costs, age limits, or what personal items you can bring. Call the jail to confirm these details before you go. A quick phone call can save you a wasted trip.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Register as a visitor before trying to visit.
• ✓ Schedule your visit ahead of time so you are on the list for video visitation.

• ✓ Decide whether you want a Remote Video visit or an Onsite Video visit.
• ✓ Confirm you are set up for the option you plan to use before the day of the visit.

• ✓ Avoid low-cut shirts, tube tops, and tank tops so you are not turned away at check-in.

You need to register or schedule before visiting, but the exact process matters. Find out how Kings County Jail wants you to register (online, by phone, or in person), whether you need pre-approval, and how early you need to complete these steps before your visit.

Check the current hours for Remote Video and Onsite Video visits, and ask about any fees. If the jail uses a third-party system for Remote Video, make sure you know what's required: account setup, payment method, and device requirements.

Ask what ID you need and whether expired IDs are accepted. Also verify visitor age rules, whether minors need a parent or guardian present, and what you can bring with you (keys, wallet, medication, paperwork).

1. Check the official Kings County Sheriff information for visitation so you have the most current rules in front of you.
2. Call the jail directly to confirm scheduling, hours, ID requirements, and any visitor limits.
3. Ask about temporary changes that can affect visits (for example, policy changes that were put in place during health or staffing disruptions).
