The New York Inmate Authorization Form is a document used by the New York Department of Corrections to authorize individuals to visit an inmate in a New York correctional facility. It is completed by the visitor and submitted to the facility to be reviewed and approved by the facility staff. There are three types of New York Inmate Authorization Forms: the Inmate Visitation Authorization Form, the Inmate Correspondence Authorization Form, and the Inmate Telephone Authorization Form. The Inmate Visitation Authorization Form is used to authorize the visitor to visit the inmate in person, while the Inmate Correspondence Authorization Form is used to authorize the visitor to send mail or other correspondence to the inmate. The Inmate Telephone Authorization Form allows the visitor to authorize the inmate to place phone calls to a specific telephone number. All forms must be filled out with the visitor's name, address, phone number, and other identifying information. The forms must also be signed by the inmate or their legal representative.
