Jail Notary Services - Mobile Notary for Inmates

When a loved one is incarcerated, it can create unexpected legal and financial challenges. The American legal system is complex; just because someone is in jail doesn't mean their obligations stop. A mobile jail notary provides a vital service by traveling to correctional facilities to notarize important documents for inmates.

Most jails allow notary professionals to visit inmates during designated professional hours outside standard visiting times. This ensures a quick and efficient notarization process, typically completed within an hour unless there is a lockdown or other delay.

Common Documents Notarized in Jail

• Power of Attorney (POA) – Allows an inmate to grant legal authority to someone on the outside.
• Parental Permission to Travel – Required for a minor to travel with one parent or a guardian.
• Child Passport Forms – Needed for a child's passport application when a parent is incarcerated.
• Real Estate Documents – Enables property transactions or ownership transfers.
• Affidavit of Inability to Appear – Used when an inmate cannot be physically present in court.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does a jail notary service work?

A jail notary visits the detention facility, verifies the inmate's identity using their booking number, and witnesses the signing of documents before applying the notarial seal. The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.

To notarize an inmate's documents, you'll need:
