The casket carrying the 39th president will leave the Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta, where thousands of mourners paid their respects over the weekend.
Carter's four-plus decades out of office were marked by humanitarian efforts around election monitoring and tackling global public health issues.
A service in the Capitol rotunda with members of Congress is slated to begin at 3 p.m., and members of the public are invited.
Thursday afternoon, Carter's remains will return to Georgia for a private service at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains.
