Need to Change Your Visit Plans at Washington State Prison? How to Add or Cancel Visitors
Scheduling a visit at Washington State Prison starts with the department visitation request form. That form is your starting point for new visits - and it's also the foundation for any changes you make later.
Already have something scheduled? The tool you use depends on what you need to change. To add people to an existing appointment, use the
Plans change. Maybe another family member wants to come along. To add someone to a visit you've already scheduled, start by pulling up your existing appointment through the department's
- Open “Find your scheduled visitation” - this is the tool used to locate an existing appointment so you can make changes.
- Find your appointment - enter the requested information to pull up the scheduled visit you already have on the calendar.
- Select the scheduled visit you want to update - make sure you’re working on the right date/time.
- Add the additional visitor(s) - follow the prompts to include the person you want to bring.
- Confirm each added person is approved to visit - only approved visitors can be added to a scheduled appointment.
Tip: Before you finalize anything, double-check that the person you’re adding is on the incarcerated person’s approved visitor list. After you submit the change, save a confirmation or screenshot for your records.
Need to cancel? Use the department's
- Open “Cancel my visit” - start with the department’s cancellation option (not the add-visitor tool).
- Find your scheduled visitation - enter the requested details so the system can pull up your appointment.
- Cancel the appointment - complete the prompts to finish the cancellation.
- Cancel as soon as you know you can’t make it - earlier changes are easier to manage than last-minute ones.
Reminder: Save the cancellation confirmation (or take a screenshot). If your cancellation doesn’t seem to show up correctly afterward, contact the facility for help.
Watch the cutoffs, especially for weekend visits. If you're visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, your request must be in by 5:00 PM on Wednesday of that same week.
Holidays have their own deadline. For visits on state holidays, submit your request by 5:00 PM three days before the holiday.
Important: Adding visitors or making changes close to a weekend or state holiday? Check the cutoff times first. Miss the deadline and your request won't go through.
