Visiting Appointments

Money Deposits:

Funds can be added at the jail lobby kiosks or via the online system. Also, if an inmate needs to release property or money to someone outside, they may have to sign a notarized release form – which we can notarize on-site, saving the hassle of the inmate having to refuse items until release.

Our Approach at Cois Byrd

The jail staff at Cois Byrd are generally familiar with legal visits. We check in as a legal visitor (notary public) and often get a one-on-one booth visit with the inmate. Communication is via telephone through glass.

We ensure the inmate has any eyeglasses if needed (small tip: if an inmate needs glasses to read and you know this, try to get those to them ahead of time via property, to ease the signing process).

We can bring in the documents – typically we're allowed a set of papers, our journal, and stamp. After notarization, if you're not present, we can arrange to leave the documents with jail staff to be picked up by you, or we often will overnight them to you directly for speed.

Documents We Notarize at Cois Byrd Detention Center

Common documents we notarize for inmates at Cois Byrd include:

Real Estate Documents

Southwest Riverside County is a growing area; if an inmate homeowner needs to notarize a deed, refinance documents, or a permission for sale of property, we handle those. We've notarized documents for inmates dealing with property sales so their family isn't stuck waiting for their release to complete escrow.

Family Law Documents

Inmates sometimes have ongoing family court matters. We notarize waivers, stipulations, or custody agreements that an inmate needs to sign for family court. For example, an inmate parent might notarize an agreement granting full custody to the other parent or approving a stepparent adoption.

Military or VA Forms

Murrieta is near military installations (like Camp Pendleton is not far). If an inmate is a veteran or service member, they may need to sign Veterans Administration or military paperwork (like benefits proxy or GI Bill benefit assignments). We can notarize those forms to help maintain their benefits or appointments.

General Powers of Attorney

We prepare and notarize general POAs for inmates who trust someone to handle all personal matters while they are incarcerated. This can cover banking, insurance claims, car registrations, etc. We make sure the power of attorney language meets California's requirements and is accepted by the institutions where it will be used.

Financial Documents

For instance, if an inmate co-owns a business or is on the board of an organization, resolutions or agreements might need their notarized signature (even things like refinancing a business loan, etc. can come up). We've notarized documents like corporate resolutions at this facility when needed.

Child Custody Agreements

Documents establishing temporary guardianship or custody arrangements for children while a parent is incarcerated. These documents need proper notarization to be legally valid for schools, medical facilities, and other institutions.

Commitment to Speed & Accuracy

We know that Murrieta's facility serves a large region – sometimes attorneys or families drive over an hour to reach it. We respect your time by being punctual and prepared.

"On Call Notary was a true blessing when my son was at Cois Byrd and needed to sign real estate documents. Living in Temecula, I had no idea how to handle this situation. They were professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the jail procedures. The notary arrived exactly when promised and handled all the paperwork flawlessly. The escrow company commented on how perfect the notarization was. I would highly recommend their services to anyone with a loved one at Southwest Detention Center."
