How to Fill Out Lowell Correctional Institution's Visitation Application Without Getting Denied

Applications get denied for simple reasons: blank fields, inaccurate information, or a missing signature. The DC6-111A form is clear - leave something blank, and you risk denial. Provide misleading answers, same result. Worse, false information can lead to legal trouble and permanently cost you visitation privileges. Take your time and fill it out carefully.

By signing, you're agreeing to a criminal background check. The form also tells you to read the attached visitation policies before your visit - don't skip this. Many people get turned away at the door not because their application was denied, but because they didn't follow the rules spelled out in those policies.

Anyone 12 or older needs to complete a visitation application. Even if you're visiting with family, you still need your own completed form.

Get it right the first time - only one application per person is allowed. Don't send updated versions or duplicates unless you're specifically told to.

1. Start with the right form and read the header - The DC6-111A is a 2-part form: Part 1 is the Visiting Request and Part 2 is Visitor Information. Make sure you’re completing the whole thing.
2. Fill in every field - no blanks - If a question doesn’t apply to you, write “NA” (not applicable) instead of leaving it empty.
3. Treat “NA” as your default for anything that truly doesn’t fit - This is the easiest way to avoid an automatic denial for missing information.
4. Review your entries for completeness before you sign - Your signature is certifying the information is complete and true, so do a quick pass to catch missed lines.
5. Keep your final copy clean and readable - The goal is a form that can be processed without anyone guessing what you meant.

• ✓ Confirm the inmate’s name is correct.
• ✓ Confirm the inmate’s DC# is correct (double-check the digits before you submit).
• ✓ If you’re emailing your application to Lowell CI, use: VisitappLowellCI@fdc.myflorida.com

Before you submit, sign the form in the space provided. Miss this step and your application won't be processed - even if everything else is perfect.

Common Mistakes

• ✓ Leaving blanks anywhere on the form - write “NA” when something doesn’t apply so you don’t get denied for missing information.
• ✓ Forgetting to sign - sign in the space provided, or the form won’t be processed.
• ✓ Providing false or misleading information - even “small” inaccuracies can result in a denial; answer honestly and consistently.
• ✓ Submitting more than one application - only one form per person is allowed, so don’t send duplicates.

After submitting, wait. Don't show up to visit until the inmate confirms you've been approved. The form is explicit about this, and arriving early means a wasted trip.

Submit your completed application to Lowell Correctional Institution by email or U.S. Mail. The submission email is VisitappLowellCI@fdc.myflorida.com. Send the finished form - not a partial draft - so processing can start without delays.

The application includes a clear acknowledgment: criminal background checks will be conducted. It also warns that providing false information is a second-degree misdemeanor and could permanently end your visitation privileges. If you're unsure about something, verify it - don't guess.

The form reminds visitors to read the attached visitation policies before showing up. That's where the day-of-visit rules are. Following them keeps you from getting turned away after you've already made the trip.
