How to Apply for Visitation at Cheyenne (ASPC-Cheyenne): Fees, Timeline, and Payment Options
Applying to visit someone at the Cheyenne Unit comes down to paperwork and patience. Submit the application electronically, pay the background check fee online, then wait for processing.
Getting approved for visitation at Cheyenne (ASPC-Cheyenne) starts with submitting the Application to Visit an Inmate electronically. This is the first step - everything else follows from there.
Timing warning: Don’t submit a visitation application while the person you want to visit is in the intake process at Alhambra or Perryville.
Adult visitors applying for in-person, phone, or video visits pay a one-time $25 background check fee. It's non-refundable and covers the background check that's part of the approval process.
The background check fee must be paid electronically - no cash or money orders. Use one of the approved electronic payment options.
Have your Application Visitor ID number ready before you pay. You'll need it to complete the transaction.
You can pay the $25 background fee through any of the three approved vendors. Depending on which one you choose, options include storefront/walk-up, phone, mobile app, or online - pick whatever works best for you.
- ✓ Keefe (internet transaction fee): No fee
- ✓ JPay (internet transaction fee): $0.95
- ✓ GTL (CheckFreePay) (internet transaction fee): $1.00
- ✓ GTL (Western Union) (internet transaction fee): $1.00
Tip: Fees can depend on both the vendor and how you pay (internet vs. phone vs. walk-up). If you’re trying to keep costs down, compare the vendor and the payment channel before you submit the $25 fee.
Once your payment and any supporting documents are received, expect up to 60 days for processing. If you're planning travel or time off work, factor in that wait.
You have 30 days from your application date to submit the background check fee and any required documents. Miss that window and your application won't be processed.
Cheyenne posts a unit visitation calendar (including a 2025 calendar) that's helpful for planning ahead.
