How to Get on an Inmate's Visiting List at USP Beaumont (BP-A0629 steps)
To visit someone at USP Beaumont, you need to be approved first. That approval starts with the BP-A0629 Visitor Information form—and once you know what to gather and where to send it, the process is straightforward.
At USP Beaumont (and other Bureau of Prisons facilities), you can't just show up. You must be on the inmate's approved visiting list and cleared before you'll be allowed through. If you're planning travel or taking time off work, handle the visiting-list approval first - otherwise, you risk making the trip only to get turned away at the door.
The process starts on the inside. The inmate requests the BP-A0629 Visitor Information form and mails it to you (and any other potential visitors). Once you receive it, you fill out your portion and send it back for review. Haven't gotten the form yet? Your first move is to ask the inmate to request it and mail it out.

BP-A0629 isn't just a contact-information sheet. When you sign it, you're authorizing the release of criminal offense records - arrests, convictions, and related information - to the Warden so the institution can decide whether you're suitable to visit. Your answers can be checked, and the institution may contact law enforcement agencies if it needs more information to determine whether approving you would create a management or security concern.
Your information doesn't disappear after you submit it. The Bureau of Prisons uses a visitor system called WebV that stores details for approval and tracking - things like your driver's license/state ID number, passport number, or alien registration number, plus your address, phone number, and approval date. That's one reason to take your time and fill out the form carefully and consistently.
- Fill out the BP-A0629 completely - Use your legal information and double-check anything that could be verified later (like your date of birth, address, and citizenship/ID numbers).
- Return the form to the institution for approval - Follow the form’s instructions for where to send it so staff can process it and decide whether to add you to the inmate’s approved visiting list.
- Call ahead before you try to visit - Even after you’ve submitted the paperwork, confirm that your visit will be permitted before you make plans to go in person.
Note: If you don't hear back quickly, check with the inmate to confirm your completed BP-A0629 made it back to the institution. Approval can take time since the form authorizes a background check to help the Warden make a decision.
