The former president will travel from his hometown to Atlanta by motorcade, and first lie in repose in the Carter Center, his post-presidency foundation.
He then will be flown to Washington, D.C. where he will be greeted with a ceremony in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda and lie in state at the Capitol.
His state funeral will take place at Washington National Cathedral.
He is to be buried in Plains next to former first lady Rosalynn Carter.
Carter, a peanut farmer and former governor of Georgia, became the country's 39th president in 1977. He ran on the promise of restoring trust in government after the the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War.
Carter served only one term, defeated by Ronald Reagan in the midst of high inflation and the Iran hostage crisis.
He later gained a reputation as a tireless humanitarian and won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
