How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Getting approved is the first step. The inmate requests a Visitor Information form for each potential visitor, and completed forms go to the BOP for review. Once approved, staff enter your record into WebV—a system that stores visitor data and displays inmate details like name, register number, housing unit, and work assignment. WebV doesn't run the background check itself. When you arrive, ACES/Web Visiting logs your entry and exit. Check-in includes at minimum an NCIC check and a legal government-issued photo ID. ACES may also capture fingerprints, a digital image, SSN, and passport or driver's license numbers. Get approved first, schedule your visit, and follow check-in instructions closely.
