How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Suffolk County Corr. Facility, Riverhead starts with registration. Every visitor must complete the facility registration form before making a reservation—this only needs to be done once per inmate. Any additional guests (up to two) also need to be registered ahead of time. Bring acceptable photo ID: a valid state driver's license or permit, DMV non-driver ID, U.S. Military ID, or an English foreign passport with photo ID. You must be 18 to visit alone. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or documented legal guardian present, or a signed Parental Acknowledgement Form on file. All children must present an original birth certificate or court documentation at check-in. If you don't have acceptable ID or need help registering, the START Resource Center at the Yaphank Correctional Facility can assist and connect you with a Correctional Counselor.
