How to Get Approved to Visit Someone at Ware County Jail

To visit someone at Ware County Jail, start by completing the Georgia Visitation Request Form. Submit it directly to Ware County Jail - not a different facility or central office. Until your form is on file and processed, don't assume you'll be allowed to visit.

Immediate family members typically have the smoothest path to approval. Offenders can request visitation for parents, siblings, a spouse, grandparents, grandchildren, and children at the facility where they're housed. If you fall into one of these categories, make sure your information matches official records exactly and follow any facility-specific instructions.

Not immediate family? You can still get approved, but the process works differently. Your loved one needs to complete a "Significant Relationship Visitor Application for Visitation Privilege," which then goes to the facility Warden for review. If you're a friend, extended family member, or another supportive relationship, talk with the offender first - they're the one who kicks off the request.

Note: For significant relationship requests, the offender is the one who initiates the application and will typically be the person who can tell you whether it was approved or denied.

  • A document that supports the relationship you’re claiming (for example, a birth certificate for a parent/child relationship)
  • A document that supports a marital relationship (for example, a marriage license)
  • Any paperwork the facility asks for to confirm immediate-family status (parents, siblings, spouse, grandparents, grandchildren, or children)
  • For non-immediate-family visitors, any documentation the facility requests to support a significant relationship request

After you submit the Georgia Visitation Request Form, the facility reviews it before granting access. For the Significant Relationship route, the offender submits the application and the Warden reviews it - so you'll hear back through your loved one. Don't book travel or show up expecting entry until you've confirmed you're approved.
