Visitation
Visiting someone at Moore County Detention takes a little planning. Before scheduling a visit, check the facility's current visitation information to find out whether visits are in person, video, or both, and what hours are offered. You'll need to be added to the incarcerated person's approved visitor list and complete a visitor application. The process usually starts with the incarcerated person sending a visitor form to the people they want approved. You then return it with the requested ID and background information. Whether a visit is contact or non-contact depends on housing, classification, or facility rules. For civil marriage arrangements in Moore County, call 910-722-5019 the morning you want to get married to schedule a Magistrate. Marriage licenses are issued weekdays at the Register of Deeds in Carthage.

Moore County Detention uses third-party communication vendors for phone calls, messaging, and video services. You'll manage everything through a vendor app or website rather than through the jail directly. If the facility is served by NCIC, add funds to your NCIC phone account to receive calls, video visits, and messages. Create an account with the approved vendor, sign in to the portal or app, and add money to enable calling or paid tablet features. Video visits are scheduled or started inside the vendor platform, and both people may need approval in the system before the first visit. Digital messages may show up in a secure inbox or as digitized mail on a tablet. Some systems require the person in custody to message you first before you can reply.
