Scheduling a Notary Appointment at RPDC

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 your deadline so we can prioritize scheduling.
2. We schedule with the facility
Riverside County facilities require visits to be scheduled at least one day in advance. For attorney or professional visits such as notarizations, we contact RPDC directly at (951) 955‑4500 to coordinate scheduling and confirm the inmate is currently housed at RPDC, not temporarily transferred.
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 use the facility’s mail system.
4. The notary appointment in downtown Riverside
We travel from Los Angeles to RPDC in downtown Riverside, clear security screening, and meet with the inmate in the designated visiting area. The inmate confirms their identity, signs the documents in our presence, and we complete the notarization. Valid government‑issued photo ID is required for all visitors.
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, courier, or mail depending on your timeline.
