Scheduling Your First Visit to Omaha Correctional Center: Timeline, Approval List, and ID Requirements

Before you can schedule a visit at Omaha Correctional Center, everyone who plans to attend must be approved on the incarcerated person's visiting list - adults and minors alike. Planning a family visit? Make sure each visitor's information is submitted for approval first. Without that, your scheduling request can't move forward.

• ✓ Submit your visitation request at least 7 days before the date you want.
• ✓ You can request a visit up to 4 weeks from the date you submit.
• ✓ Visits are assigned first-come, first-served, so earlier requests have the best chance.
• ✓ Expect an email confirmation at least 3 days before your visit.

Group size matters. Up to four adult visitors are allowed at each in-person or virtual visit. A reasonable number of children may be permitted too, though the exact limit can vary. If you're bringing kids, confirm the number allowed before you submit your request or finalize travel plans.

• ✓ Bring proper identification; acceptable ID types are listed in the facility’s visiting policy.
• ✓ Bring only permissible personal items; the allowed items list is also in the facility’s visiting policy.
• ✓ Be prepared for searches - visitors are subject to search at any time during their visit.

1. Get everyone added to the visiting list - Make sure every adult and minor who plans to attend is approved on the incarcerated person’s visiting list before you try to schedule.
2. Complete the visitation request form - If multiple people are attending the same visitation session, you only need to complete one registration form.
3. Pick dates with the timeline in mind - Submit your request at least 7 days before your preferred date, and remember you can schedule up to 4 weeks out. Include alternative dates and times so staff can place you if your first choice is full.
4. Submit early if you can - Visits are assigned first-come, first-served, so waiting can mean fewer available slots.
5. Watch for the confirmation email - You should receive email confirmation at least 3 days before the visit. If you don’t see it, check your spam/junk folder so you don’t miss your scheduled time.
