Getting Approved to Visit: Visitor Application Checklist for Pamlico Correctional Institution

Before you can visit anyone at Pamlico Correctional Institution, your visitor application must be completed and approved by facility staff. Already picking out a date? Approval comes first. Think of the application as the gate that opens everything else.

Once you've filled it out, send the completed application to the prison where the person is currently housed. This detail matters - returning it to the correct facility keeps things from stalling.

Getting Approved to Visit: Visitor Application Checklist for Pamlico Correctional Institution

Required ID

  • ✓ If you’re 16 or older: attach a copy of one approved picture ID with your application.
  • ✓ If the visitor is a minor under 16: attach a copy of the child’s birth certificate with the application.

Using a driver's license or state-issued ID? It needs to be one issued by a state's Division of Motor Vehicles. That's the standard the facility uses when reviewing ID copies.

One firm rule: the incarcerated person cannot submit the visitor application on your behalf. Applications from offenders aren't accepted. The completed packet has to come from you - the person who wants to visit.

Note: Incomplete applications won’t be approved. Before you send yours in, double-check that every required section is filled out and that the correct ID document is attached.

After you submit, facility staff still need to review and approve your application before you can visit. Been waiting a while? A quick follow-up call can confirm whether they received it and whether anything's missing.

Age determines what you attach. Visitors 16 or older need a copy of one approved picture ID. Minors under 16 need a copy of their birth certificate instead. Submitting for multiple family members? Double-check that each packet includes the right document for that person's age.

Clergy visits: Clergy may have a separate application process and still need approval before visiting. If you’re applying as clergy, confirm which form is required before you submit anything.
