How to Complete the Florida DOC Visitation Application (DC6-111A) Without Getting Denied
The DC6-111A is straightforward, but small mistakes can get it denied. Use the checks below to submit it correctly the first time and avoid a wasted trip.
Don't visit until the inmate notifies you that your application has been approved. If you show up before approval, you can be refused entry, even if you already sent the paperwork. Treat the inmate's notification as your green light. Save yourself the stress and the drive.
Anyone 12 or older who wants to visit must complete their own DC6-111A visitation application. That age cutoff matters. Don't assume a teen can tag along on someone else's form.
The fastest way to get denied is leaving blanks. Florida DOC says it plainly: unanswered items can cause the application to be denied. Go line by line and fill in every field. If something genuinely doesn't apply to you, write "NA" so it's not left empty. Be careful with your responses, too. False or misleading information can also result in a denial.
- ✓ Every question and line has an answer (no empty boxes, no skipped lines)
- ✓ Any item that does not apply is filled in with “NA”
- ✓ You did not leave any signature or date lines blank
- ✓ Your answers are truthful and consistent throughout the form
Warning: Blanks can equal denial. Before you submit, scan the entire form and confirm nothing is left empty.
Send the completed DC6-111A by e-mail or U.S. Mail to the institution where you plan to visit. Getting it to the right place matters. The form is processed at that specific institution, not a central office.
- Make a copy for your records. Keep a photo or scan of what you sent.
- Submit it by e-mail or U.S. Mail to the institution you want to visit. Use one of the approved submission methods.
- Save proof you sent it. Keep your sent e-mail confirmation or mailing receipt.
- Wait for the inmate’s approval notice before visiting. Do not travel to the facility until the inmate tells you the application is approved.
