NDCS utilizes a preregistration process for visitation in all facilities. All visits must be scheduled at least seven days in advance, using this web form. Visits may be scheduled up to four weeks from the date of the request. Four adults and four minors are allowed at each visit.

If additional adults are attending the same visitation session, you need only complete one registration form. However, be sure to list the full names of all other visitors and include all of the necessary contact information (phone & email) for each person. Minors of any age are permitted, when accompanied by at least one adult. Names of the minors should also be included on the form.

All visitors must be on the preapproved visitation list.

Visits are assigned on a first come, first serve basis. You will be notified by email at least three days in advance of your approved visit
Be sure to include alternative dates and times for your visit. If your first preference is already filled, staff will try to grant your second or third request
If you need to cancel a visit for any reason, notify the facility as soon as possible

*** NOTE: You will want to arrive prior to your scheduled visitation time to allow for processing into the facility.
