Before Your First Visit to USP Victorville: IDs, Check-In & Exit Procedures

Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID. USP Victorville won't accept non-government IDs, and foreign identification other than a passport doesn't work either - consulate-issued cards won't get you in. Not sure if yours qualifies? Play it safe and bring a passport or another official government-issued photo ID. It beats driving all the way there for nothing.

At check-in, staff will verify your identity using your photo ID. When your visit ends, you'll go through a separate check-out process: they'll confirm who you are at the visiting room's front desk using both your photo ID and a hand stamp. Keep your ID handy until you've fully exited - don't tuck it away the moment you stand up to leave.

Show up without an acceptable ID and you'll be turned away. Since USP Victorville doesn't accept non-government identification or foreign IDs other than a passport, the fix is straightforward: reschedule and return with a government-issued photo ID or passport.

USP Victorville offers social visits on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and all federal holidays. Hours run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
