How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
FCI Tallahassee uses the Bureau of Prisons visitor approval process. Your loved one must request a Visitor Information form and send it to you. Complete it and submit it to the BOP for approval. You'll need to show a legal photo ID every visit, and you'll go through screening before entry, including at least an NCIC background check. The BOP also uses the ACES/Web Visiting system to log everyone entering and exiting its facilities. Fill out the application exactly as instructed, submit it the way the facility directs, then wait for formal approval before traveling. Schedules and visit formats (video or in-person) can vary, so check FCI Tallahassee's visitor materials or the inmate handbook for current hours and options.
