What Information You'll Need to Fill Out the FCI La Tuna Visitor Application (BP‑A0629)

BP‑A0629 is the questionnaire and release form you complete to be considered for visiting privileges. Fill it out and return it to the institution address shown on the form. Missing information will suspend processing, and partial information slows things down.

The Bureau of Prisons draws its authority to request background information from Title 18 U.S.C. § 4042. The form helps staff decide whether approving your visit would create management concerns for the institution or cause other adverse effects.

What Information You'll Need to Fill Out the FCI La Tuna Visitor Application (BP‑A0629)

Identity Fields

  • Your legal name
  • Your date of birth
  • Your address (including ZIP code)
  • Your telephone number (including area code)
  • Your race and sex
  • Whether you are a U.S. citizen
  • If you are a U.S. citizen: your Social Security number
  • If you are not a U.S. citizen: your Alien Registration number and your passport number
  • Your relationship to the inmate
  • Driver’s license or state ID number (and related ID details)
  • Your legal residence

Note: Approved visitor details are stored in the Bureau of Prisons’ Web Visiting System (WebV), including items like your name, relationship to the inmate, date of birth, sex, race/ethnicity, driver’s license/state ID number, passport or alien registration numbers, legal residence, phone number, and date of approval.

BP‑A0629 helps determine whether you're suitable for approval as a visitor. The information you provide may be verified through law enforcement or crime information agencies. Answer the background questions completely and honestly - missing information suspends processing, and partial responses can significantly delay your application.

Be accurate. The form warns that false statements can lead to criminal penalties under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 - a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to five years.

If the applicant is under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the form. That signature indicates the parent/guardian’s consent for the minor to visit the inmate.

  1. Complete BP‑A0629 in full - leaving out required information can suspend processing, and partial information can cause significant delays.
  2. Return the form to the institution address shown on BP‑A0629 - your application isn’t considered until it’s filled out and sent back to that address.
