How to Get on the Approved Visitor List at Rockville Correctional Facility
Before you can visit someone at Rockville Correctional Facility, you'll need to get approved. Here's how the process works and what to complete first so you're not left waiting.
Rockville Correctional Facility requires approval before your first visit. The process starts with State Form 14387, which screens visitors for criminal history, employment with the Department of Correction, and your relationship to the person you want to visit. You'll also need to register for a ViaPath account and get approved there before scheduling in-person or online visits. It's a two-part process: complete the form screening and get your ViaPath account approved. Both are required.
Tip: Complete both the State Form 14387 screening and ViaPath registration before trying to schedule. Finishing only one will slow you down.
Start by submitting State Form 14387. Rockville uses this form to screen for criminal history, check whether you work for the Department of Correction, and verify your relationship to the incarcerated person. This screening must be completed before your first visit. Don't skip ahead to scheduling - the facility expects this step to be done as part of getting cleared.
Note: The facility doesn't publish every detail about how or where to submit State Form 14387, or how long approval takes. Contact Rockville Correctional Facility directly for current instructions.
Next, create a ViaPath account and complete the approval process. All visitors at Rockville must register with ViaPath and be approved before scheduling any visit - in-person or online. Once your account is approved, you'll be able to see available dates and times for the facility.
Reminder: ViaPath approval doesn’t replace the State Form 14387 screening. Rockville requires both before you can schedule a visit.
Even after completing the screening and ViaPath setup, you still need to be on the offender's approved visitors list. This list confirms who's allowed to visit that specific person. Once you're cleared through State Form 14387 and approved in ViaPath, use the facility's scheduling process to request a time. Keep in mind: visitors may only visit the same offender once every 14 days, so plan accordingly.
