What ID Your Child Needs to Visit Someone at Lieber Corrections Inst.
Bringing a child to visit at Lieber Corrections Institution? The ID requirements depend on age—whether you're visiting in person or by video. Here's what you need so you don't get turned away at check-in.
For in-person visits, children 10 and older need a government-issued photo ID. Have it ready at check-in - staff will ask for it, same as they do for adults.
Children nine and younger need a certified long-form birth certificate instead of a photo ID. Make sure it's the certified long-form version - that's what staff use to verify younger kids.
Note: If the adult bringing the child is not the parent or legal guardian, you’ll need SCDC Form 19-118 (Authorization for Adult Supervision of a Minor) for entry.
For virtual visits, anyone 10 or older on the approved visitor list needs to show photo ID before the visit starts. Have your child's ID nearby and ready to hold up to the camera when asked.
Kids under 10 need a certified long-form birth certificate for virtual visits too. Keep it within reach so you can show it if the visitation coordinator asks.
Note: For virtual visitation, the name on the account and approvals must match the name on the inmate’s approved visitation list - no nicknames.
Practical Checklist
- ✓ Child is age 10+ (in-person visit): government-issued photo ID
- ✓ Child is age 9 or younger (in-person visit): long-form (certified) birth certificate
- ✓ Child is age 10+ (virtual visit): photo ID ready to show before the visit

- ✓ If the accompanying adult is not the parent or legal guardian: SCDC Form 19-118 (Authorization for Adult Supervision of a Minor)
Missing the required document? Get it sorted before you travel or log in for a virtual visit. Call the facility's visitation office ahead of time - especially if someone other than a parent or legal guardian is bringing the child and you still need SCDC Form 19-118.
