HOW DO I SET UP AN ACCOUNT FOR VISITATION? ISN’T IT THE SAME INFO I USE TO DEPOSIT FUNDS?
NO!
IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A VISITATION ACCOUNT IS NOT THE SAME AS A DEPOSIT/KIOSK ACCOUNT AND REQUIRES A SEPARATE REGISTRATION. SEE STEPS BELOW.
A visitation account must be set up online via your phone or your personal computer. You must have an active email account you can access to create the account and register for a visit.
NOTE: THERE IS ALSO A BLUE “GETTING OUT” APP THAT WILL APPEAR. THIS ONE IS USED FOR A SEPARATE PURPOSE AND IS NOT THE ONE YOU NEED TO DOWLOAD FOR VISITS.
- If you’re using your cell phone, go to your App Store and search for “GTL” OR “GETTING OUT Visits”.
