What ID You Need to Visit Orange Correctional Center (Who Needs Photo ID and What to Attach to an Application)

At Orange Correctional Center, every visitor applicant age 16 and older must pick one of the approved photo IDs and attach a copy to their visitor application. If you're 16+, don't skip this step. Your application won't be considered complete without it.

Kids under 16 are handled differently. Rather than a photo ID, minors under age 16 need a copy of their birth certificate attached to the visitor application.

If you're 16 or older, a driver license or state-issued photo ID works as your approved ID, as long as it was issued by a state Division of Motor Vehicles. That detail matters. The ID you attach needs to be specifically a DMV-issued driver license or DMV-issued state ID.

Use the same approved photo ID consistently. If you're 16 or older, pick one of the approved picture IDs, attach a copy to your application, and bring that same ID with you on visit day.

• ✓ The application form was copied instead of being an original.
• ✓ The application was not complete or did not include proper attachments.
• ✓ The application contained false information.

Before you make the drive, call the prison the day before your scheduled visit to confirm the facility's visitation status. This can save you a wasted trip if something changed or if there's an issue with your application.

Visits are by appointment only. Call or email the prison where the person is housed to schedule your appointment. You can use that same contact method for questions about which documents to use or what to attach to your application.
