Who Can Visit Youth at Lancaster County Youth Services Center: ID Requirements and Age Rules
Visiting a youth at Lancaster County Youth Services Center (LCYSC) is straightforward once you know the two gatekeepers: you need to be an approved visitor, and you need the right ID at the door.
LCYSC limits visitation to parents, legal guardians, and siblings who are on the resident's approved visitor list. Not in one of those categories? Not on the list? You'll be turned away - even if you're a close relative or have visited other facilities before.
Visitor limit: Each resident is limited to three (3) visitors unless prior approval has been obtained from supervisory personnel.
Bring photo ID every time. LCYSC accepts state ID cards, federal ID cards, driver licenses, and school IDs. For children, a birth certificate works as identification.
Siblings under 18 must be accompanied by their legal guardian. The only exception: if the sibling has legal documentation showing they're considered an adult - like emancipation papers or a marriage certificate.
Practical Checklist
- ✓ Confirm you’re a parent/legal guardian or a documented sibling on the resident’s approved visitor list.
- ✓ Bring proper picture ID (state ID, federal ID, driver license, or school ID); for children, bring a birth certificate.
- ✓ Plan for no more than three (3) visitors for the resident unless supervisory approval has been obtained.
- ✓ If a sibling visitor is under 18, make sure their legal guardian comes along - unless the sibling has legal documentation (such as emancipation or marriage) showing adult status.
