What ID Do I Need to Visit Raymond Laborde C.C.? Accepted Forms and Rules for Minors

Visiting Raymond Laborde C.C.? If you're 18 or older, you'll need to show a photo ID every time - no exceptions. Even if staff recognize you from previous visits, they'll still check your identification at the door.

  • Valid driver’s license from your state of residence
  • Valid state photo identification card from your state of residence
  • Valid military photo identification card (active duty only)
  • Valid passport

Tip: Bring the original photo ID with you (not a picture of it on your phone) since adults must show photo identification each time they visit.

Bringing someone under 18? They must stay with a parent or legal guardian the entire time they're on facility grounds - not just during the visit, but from the moment you arrive until you leave.

Important: Children under 18 can’t be left alone at any time on Raymond Laborde C.C. grounds.

A little planning goes a long way. Expired IDs, damaged IDs, and photocopies won't cut it - staff need to see a valid original. Not sure yours will pass? Bring a backup from the accepted list, or wait until you have proper ID in hand. Better than driving all that way for nothing.

Having the right ID is only half the equation. You also need to be on the person's approved visiting list before you can get in. Not sure if you're approved? Ask the person you're visiting directly - staff won't confirm list status over the phone.
