Before your appointment
What to have ready for a jail notary visit.
Inmate identification — no personal photo ID required
Under California Civil Code § 1185(b)(3)(D), sheriff-issued inmate identification is acceptable ID for a signer in a local detention facility. At Central Detention Center (San Bernardino) that is the SBSD booking wristband the inmate wears — matched to the sheriff’s booking record — so you do not need to bring the inmate’s wallet, driver’s license, or passport. Just give us the inmate’s full legal name and booking number when you call. If the wristband is missing or unreadable, California law also allows identification by credible identifying witnesses under Civil Code § 1185(b)(1)–(2).
Complete documents ready to sign
Bring all pages of the document — not just the signature page. Documents should be fully prepared and ready to sign. Missing pages or incomplete forms will require a return visit. We can advise on preparation before we schedule.
Inmate name & booking number
We need the inmate’s full legal name and booking number to confirm their location within the facility. You can typically find the booking number through the county sheriff’s online inmate search or by calling the facility directly.
