A notary visit at Smith, step by step
- Call or text us first. Give us the inmate's name and booking number — the Riverside County online inmate locator confirms who's at Smith — and what needs signing.
- We arrange access. We check in as professional legal visitors with commission, seal, journal, and pens; depending on housing unit, the meeting may run through the facility's video system.
- Sign, thumbprint, seal. Staff confirm identity, the inmate signs and thumbprints our journal, and we complete the notarial certificate before we leave.
- Documents keep moving. We hand the finished paperwork to a family member at the facility, or arrange secure delivery to the court or escrow office waiting on it.
A tip from our visits: if the inmate wears reading glasses, make sure they'll have them — a document they can't read is a visit wasted.
Visiting yourself? Family visits are booked at least a day ahead through the county's central scheduling line, run about 45 minutes, and happen over video rather than face-to-face. Our professional visit is separate — it never eats into your slot. Planning a wedding while your partner is in custody? Our inmate marriage service coordinates the license and the facility.
