Before You Arrive: What to Expect at Waupaca County Jail's Visitor Check-In
Visiting someone in jail can feel stressful, especially the first time. Knowing what to expect at Waupaca County Jail's visitor check-in makes a real difference — here's how to walk in prepared.
Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID. You’ll need it at check-in for admission, and without it you may not be allowed to visit.
- Receive your Visitor Badge - staff issue a Visitor Badge to all visitors during check-in.
- Wear it the entire time - you must keep the badge on throughout your visit.
- Return it when you’re done - give the badge back to the officer when the visit is completed.
You'll go through security screening before entering. All visitors at Waupaca County Jail are subject to wand or pat searches at any time - leave anything questionable at home.
Lockers-and-responsibility

Plan your group before you arrive. Only four people total (including children) may visit at one time.
If you’re bringing minors, make sure the right adult is with them. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during visits.
