How the Jail & Correctional Facility Signing Process Works
Our process is designed to respect facility rules while making the experience as clear and efficient as possible for you and your loved one.
1. Initial Scheduling & Details
You or your attorney contacts RightSign Notary to request a jail or correctional facility signing. During this call or message, we will confirm:
- The type of documents to be notarized
- The facility name, address, and any known security requirements
- The inmate’s full legal name and ID or booking number
- Preferred date and time, subject to facility rules and visiting hours
2. Coordination with the Facility
We confirm the facility’s policies for professional visitors, including required approvals, allowable items, check-in procedures, and where the signing will take place. When helpful, we can work directly with attorneys or facility staff to coordinate logistics.
3. Day-of Appointment & Security Protocols
On the day of the appointment, your mobile notary arrives early to check in with security, present identification, and follow all screening procedures. We only bring approved materials, such as the documents, required forms, and basic office supplies.
4. ID Requirements for Inmates
In most cases, the facility will verify the inmate’s identity using its own records, wristband, or internal ID. The notary will confirm identity based on this verification and facility procedures. We may also verify details such as full legal name and date of birth to ensure the document is completed accurately.
5. Signing, Notarization & Document Return
Once identity is confirmed, we carefully walk the signer through where to sign or initial, witness any required statements, and complete the notarial certificates. After the appointment, documents can be returned to the requesting attorney, mailed to a designated address, or provided back to the family representative as arranged in advance.
