Need a jail notary in San Bernardino or Riverside County?

Call or text (909) 751-8439 any time: we're available 24/7, we handle all facility scheduling and protocols, and we can often visit within hours.

Notarizations behind bars, handled start to finish
Getting a document notarized for someone in custody is nothing like a normal appointment. Every facility has its own visiting rules, schedules, and security procedures — and many mobile notaries simply won't take the job.
Jail visits are what we do. We understand the unique requirements and protocols at facilities across San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and greater Southern California — you make one call, and we handle everything from the front gate to the final stamp. (If your loved one is in a hospital instead, our hospital notary service works the same way.)

We also serve Los Angeles County and Orange County jails, and all correctional facilities throughout Southern California.
What documents can be notarized inside a jail?

Does the inmate need identification?
