Scheduling a Notary Appointment at North County
1. Contact us with the inmate’s information
Call or text with the inmate’s full legal name, booking number (if known), and a description of the documents that need to be notarized. Let us know that they are at North County Correctional Facility, if you already have that information.
2. We confirm housing and visiting procedures
NCCF has its own schedule and rules for professional visits. We confirm that the inmate is currently housed at North County and review the facility’s procedures so the appointment follows their requirements.
3. Prepare your documents
Have all documents ready and complete before the appointment — we cannot draft legal documents, only notarize signatures. If the inmate needs to review documents first, coordinate with their attorney or mail the documents to the facility in advance.
4. The notary appointment in Castaic
We travel to North County, clear security, and meet with the inmate in the designated professional visiting area. The inmate confirms their identity, signs the documents in our presence, and we complete the notarization with the appropriate certificate.
5. Document delivery
After the appointment, we return the signed and notarized documents to you, your attorney, escrow company, or other designated recipient — by hand delivery in the LA area, courier, or mail depending on your timeline.
Tip: Because NCCF is approximately 40 miles from central Los Angeles and houses higher‑security inmates, scheduling flexibility may be more limited. Contact us early whenever possible, especially if you have a fixed court date or deadline.

North County Correctional Facility Notary FAQs
How do I confirm someone is at North County Correctional Facility?
You can search the LA County Sheriff’s Inmate Information Center online at app5.lasd.org/iic using the inmate’s name and date of birth. The system will list the current facility, including North County if that is where they are housed.
Can you visit both North County and Pitchess on the same day?
In some situations, yes. If you have documents for inmates at both North County and a Pitchess unit, let us know. We can discuss whether it is practical to coordinate both visits on the same trip, subject to facility schedules.
Are visiting rules different at North County?
North County is a maximum‑security facility with its own visiting rules and procedures for professional visits. We confirm current requirements with the facility to ensure your appointment follows their guidelines.
How far in advance should I schedule an NCCF appointment?
Because of security and travel time, we recommend contacting us at least a few days in advance when possible. For urgent matters, call or text as soon as you know you need the appointment and we will review options.
What ID does the inmate need?
NCCF maintains booking records with photos that can be used for identification purposes. If the inmate has a valid California ID, driver’s license, or passport on file, that can also be used. We confirm ID options before the appointment.
What if the inmate is transferred to another facility?
Inmates can be transferred between Castaic and downtown facilities. We recommend confirming the inmate’s location close to the appointment time. If they have been moved, we can usually reschedule for the new facility with an updated quote if travel distance changes.
