How to Get Approved to Visit Someone at Marion C.I.: The Complete Application Checklist
Getting approved to visit at Marion C.I. comes down to paperwork. Complete the required forms, include a copy of your ID, submit everything correctly, and wait for approval before trying to schedule anything.
You can't just show up at Marion C.I. and visit. The facility won't let you through until your application has been processed and you've received official approval. Show up before that's on file? You'll waste your time and get turned away. Treat the application as step one - nothing else happens until it's done.
Forms
- ✓ Visiting Application (DRC-2096)
- ✓ Declaration of Understanding (DRC-2554) - sign it
- ✓ General Visiting Instructions (DRC-2274) - sign it
If you’re an adult applying to visit, include a legible copy of your photo ID with your application packet. Make sure it’s clear and readable - this is one of the easiest things to miss, and it’s required as part of getting approved.
Submission
- ✓ Send it by U.S. Mail
- ✓ Email it
- ✓ Fax it
- ✓ Drop it off in person
Once you submit your paperwork, the waiting begins. You won't be allowed to visit while your application is pending - only after you've been approved and notified. When that approval comes through, your next step is setting up a visit reservation through GTL VisitMe.
Once you're approved, register with GTL VisitMe to book your visit.
