Jail & Inmate Notary
Notary services for people in custody. The document has to be signed by someone who is not free to go anywhere and sign it, which is the whole problem the service solves.
Nobody can simply walk into a jail with a notary. Every detention facility has its own rules for visitors and contractors, and an inmate normally has to request a notary visit through the facility’s process before anything can be arranged. Call with the facility name and the inmate’s name and booking details and we will take it from there — and if the facility does not permit notary visits at all, we will tell you that instead of taking the appointment and missing it.

How an appointment works
Four steps, no surprises, and no charge for the trip — the fee is for the notarization.
Tell us what needs signing
Call, text or send the form below. A short description is enough to tell you whether this is something we can do.
Get a time and place confirmed
We agree a time and a location that works for you — your home, your office, a coffee shop, a hospital room, or a meeting room you book.
We arrive with what we need
The notary brings identification and the seal. Nothing is signed until we are together.
Signed, sealed, and a copy for you
You get the notarized document back, and we can courier it on if it needs to be somewhere by a deadline.
What to bring
Most appointments fail on a missing ID or a document that was signed too early. This list prevents both.
- The document, unsigned. A signature already on it usually cannot be notarized later.
- A current government-issued photo ID with your name and photograph on it — a driver’s licence, state ID, or passport.
- Any other people whose signatures the document requires. Tell us when you book so we can allow the time.
- Witnesses, if the document requires them and you do not have your own. Say so when you book and we will arrange it.
Not legal advice
A notary verifies identity and witnesses or acknowledges signatures. A notary cannot tell you what to sign, whether a document is right for you, or what it will do. If you have that kind of question it belongs to the lawyer, title company, lender or physician who prepared the document. Ask them before the appointment, not during it.
Where we work
Appointments are scheduled around where you are. Travel is arranged per appointment rather than on a fixed route, so a town not listed below may still be workable — call and ask.
