How to Get Approved to Visit Someone at Ware County Jail

Ware County Jail requires approval before you can schedule a visit. The process starts with the Georgia DOC Visitation Request Form - fill it out and submit it to the facility where your loved one is incarcerated. Skip this step or turn in an incomplete form, and your visit request won't move forward.

Start by getting the Georgia DOC Visitation Request Form and filling it out completely. This form is your gateway to becoming an approved visitor - and it's also how you'll request scheduled visits at Ware County Jail. Take your time. Double-check that everything is accurate and matches your information exactly, because approval depends on submitting a complete, correct form to the facility.

Once the form is complete, submit it to Ware County Jail. That submission puts you into the approval process. When you're ready to request a specific visit time, you'll use the same Georgia DOC visitation request form process - so think of this form as both your approval step and your scheduling starting point.

Step3 Deadlines

• ✓ Weekend visits: request cutoff is 5:00 PM on Wednesday of the same week.
• ✓ State holiday visits: request cutoff is 5:00 PM, three days before the holiday.

These cutoffs matter. A last-minute request can miss the window even if everything else is correct. Planning a weekend visit? Get your request in before Wednesday at 5:00 PM. For state holidays, count back three days and treat 5:00 PM that day as your hard deadline.

1. Open the GDC visitation site and choose “Add Visitor” - this is the tool used when you already have a scheduled visit and need to include additional people.
2. Find your scheduled visitation - use the page to locate the existing appointment.
3. Add the additional visitors to that scheduled visit - follow the prompts to include the extra visitors on the same visit.

1. Open the GDC visitation page and choose “Cancel my visit” - this option is specifically for canceling a visit that’s already scheduled.
2. Find your scheduled visitation - locate the appointment you no longer need.
3. Cancel the visit - complete the cancellation through the same page so the appointment is removed.

If your visit is denied, start with what you can control. Review your Visitation Request Form and make sure every detail is correct and consistent. If the issue involves relationship status (like information on a significant other form), clarify what needs to be fixed before resubmitting. Denial tied to warnings, contraband concerns, or a security restriction? Address the underlying issue first, then resubmit through the same process once you're in a position to be approved.
