Attorneys, legal assistants, and investigators must get a pass to meet with inmate clients at NYC Department of Correction (DOC) facilities.
Attorneys who possess a Unified Court System Attorney Secure Pass do not need a separate pass from DOC. All others must complete a DOC pass application.
A $5 fee will be applied for each pass issued. Payment may be made only with a U.S. Postal money order, payable to The New York City Department of Correction. The completed DOC pass application and payment must be submitted in person to:
Human Resources Division
Department of Correction
75-20 Astoria Boulevard, Suite 320
East Elmhurst, NY 11370
The office accepts applications on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 8:30 AM to 12 PM.
You can get the application and instructions in person from the DOC Human Resources Division or online. You can also get more information by phone.
