How to Visit Seminole County Jail, FL (FL)
Visiting someone at Seminole County Jail requires some setup, but once you understand the check-in process and visit limits, it's pretty straightforward.
Before your visit, create a Smart Jail account and complete the setup at least 24 hours in advance. You'll receive a QuickAccess code once registration is finished. Bring that code with you; it speeds up the login process when you start your visit.

Visits here are conducted by video, even when you're on-site. You'll use a video terminal in the Control 1/Visitation Room near the main entrance. Good news: onsite visits are free for both you and the inmate.
Visit time is limited, so plan your week accordingly. Each inmate can have two 30-minute on-site video visits per day. The weekly cap is four visits total (two hours for the entire week).
