Visiting application forms can also be obtained in person at any NDOC institution during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. If the inmate has not requested the individual on their visitor log, the application will be denied.

C. Upon receipt of the prospective visitors application, an officer assigned to the visiting room will confirm that the form is complete and that the inmate has submitted a request (DOC-3007) for the prospective visitor. The application will then be logged into the SCOPE book and the visitor information will be entered into the Nevada Offender Tracking Information System (NOTIS).
D. If the Institution the inmate is housed does not run their own background checks, the Inmate Visiting Application(s) will be grouped into a maximum number of five (5) applications and sent along with a National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Operator Application Form (DOC-2017) to: Nevada Department of Corrections Attn: NCIC P.O. Box 7011 Carson City, NV 89702
E. When the SCOPE is returned from the NCIC, it will be evaluated by the Warden/Designee appointed to the desired visiting institution, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in this manual and noted as approved or disapproved with a signature.

  1. After the visitor is approved or disapproved, the inmate will be sent a response stating the visitor(s) name and disposition of the request. NOTIS will be updated by the visiting officer to reflect the disposition.
