Getting Approved to Visit Noble: Step-by-Step from Application to Your First Reservation

Noble won't let you schedule a visit until you're approved. The institution reviews your application first, then creates your account with GTL (ViaPath) for reservations. Try to book before approval? You'll hit a wall. Start with the application packet.

Wait to create your ViaPath registration until after ODRC approves your application. Signing up too early can actually delay your ViaPath approval - and that pushes back when you can reserve a visit.

Start with the four-page ODRC Visitation Application Packet. Complete and sign all four pages. Don't have a copy? Ask the incarcerated person to mail one to you, or download the Visitation Application Packet through ODRC resources.

Step2 Submit

  • Submit the completed visitation application packet and a copy of your ID to the Noble facility.
  • Send it by US mail, fax, or email.
  • Do not send the application to ODRC’s central mail processing center.

Send your completed application to: Noble Correctional Institution, 15708 McConnelsville Rd, Caldwell, OH 43724. Need to double-check the address? Call (740) 732-5188.

After Noble receives your packet and ID copy, they'll process your application. Once it's done, the facility notifies the incarcerated person - they'll let you know the outcome.

Got your approval? Now register with ViaPath/GTL to make reservations. This is the sequence Noble expects: approval first, account second. Register too early and your ViaPath approval may get delayed.

Ready to book? Head to ohdoc.gtlvisitme.com. That's where you'll schedule visits once your ViaPath/GTL access is active.

Getting Approved to Visit Noble: Step-by-Step from Application to Your First Reservation
  1. Go to ohdoc.gtlvisitme.com - this is the reservation portal used for Noble visits.
  2. Log in to your account - use the ViaPath/GTL login tied to your approved visitor status.
  3. Follow the prompts to schedule - choose the available visit option(s) shown for Noble and confirm your reservation.
  • Noble has two visiting sessions Wednesday through Sunday.
  • Session times are 8:00 a.m.–11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
  • Visitor processing starts about 15 minutes before each scheduled session, so plan to be there in time for that window.

Tips Avoid Delays

  • Complete and sign all four pages of the visitation application packet before you send it.
  • Include a copy of your ID with your application packet.
  • Send your application to the Noble facility (US mail, fax, or email) - do not send it to ODRC’s central mail processing center.
  • Wait until you’re approved before you register with ViaPath/GTL; registering early may delay your ViaPath approval.

Tip: Not sure where to send your packet? Call Noble at (740) 732-5188 to confirm the address: 15708 McConnelsville Rd, Caldwell, OH 43724.
