How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
FCI Tallahassee handles visitation through the Bureau of Prisons' Web Visiting (WebV) system. The process starts with the inmate—they need to request a Visitor Information form and send it to you. Fill it out and submit it to the BOP for review. The information you provide kicks off a background investigation to determine whether you're approved to visit. Once approved, staff add your details to WebV, including your relationship to the inmate and identifying information like driver's license/state ID or passport numbers and phone number. Bring a legal photo ID every time you visit, and wait for formal approval before booking any travel.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
