Notarizing Documents Inside CDC
Central Detention Center sits in downtown San Bernardino, operated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department as a primary intake and booking facility; it houses county inmates and some federal inmates in custody. Because many people at CDC are newly booked, the paperwork families need is often urgent: releasing an impounded vehicle, signing bail bond documents, or granting a power of attorney so life outside doesn't stall.

Regular social visiting at CDC is by appointment — typically Wednesday through Saturday, booked a day in advance through the county's Visiting Center. A notary appointment is different: it's a professional visit we arrange directly with jail staff, so you don't need a social visiting slot or a spot on the approved visitor list.
Before you call, have the inmate's full name and booking number handy — the county's online Inmate Locator can help. CDC is minutes from our San Bernardino service area, and we cover every jail in San Bernardino and Riverside County, including West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga if your loved one has been transferred.
