San Bernardino County Juvenile Detention Notary
Mobile Notary at Central Valley Juvenile Detention & Assessment Center
The Central Valley Juvenile Detention & Assessment Center is San Bernardino County’s central juvenile facility, housing both youth awaiting a court decision and youth who have already been committed long-term. Whether your family needs an emergency Power of Attorney or parental consent affidavit for a case still moving through court, or vehicle title, real estate, or education paperwork for a longer commitment, we notarize both — coordinated through your attorney.
- Serving Central Valley JDAC — San Bernardino
- Both pre-adjudication urgent docs & post-adjudication long-stay docs
- San Bernardino County's central juvenile facility
- Family calls us — we coordinate directly with your attorney
We are an independent California‑commissioned mobile notary service — not affiliated with Central Valley JDAC or San Bernardino County Probation. Juvenile facility access requires coordination through the youth’s defense attorney — either a court order authorizing our entry, or the attorney sponsoring us into their own professional visit. Call or text (213) 933‑2507 with the youth’s name, your attorney’s contact information, and what needs to be signed — or have your attorney call us directly. We do not access sealed juvenile records; we only notarize signatures on documents your family or attorney provides.
About Central Valley JDAC
Juvenile detention notary service at Central Valley JDAC.
The Central Valley Juvenile Detention & Assessment Center on Gilbert Street in San Bernardino is San Bernardino County’s central juvenile facility. It houses both youth whose cases are still pending before the court and youth who have already been committed and are serving longer-term stays. That means the documents families need vary: urgent Powers of Attorney and parental consent affidavits for youth in the earlier stages of a case, and vehicle titles, real estate paperwork, family law documents, and education forms for youth in longer commitments. We coordinate every visit through the youth’s attorney and the facility’s professional-visit procedures.

Mobile Notary FAQ — Central Valley JDAC
Frequently asked questions.
Does Central Valley JDAC hold both types of youth?
Yes. Central Valley JDAC houses both youth whose cases are still pending before the court and youth who have already been committed by the court for longer-term stays.
How fast can you get there for an urgent case?
Same-day or next-day service is often possible for urgent pre-adjudication documents once your attorney confirms access, but juvenile facility entry always requires attorney coordination first.
What documents come up most for committed youth at Central Valley JDAC?
Vehicle title transfers, real estate paperwork, family law documents, long-term financial powers of attorney, and education or college enrollment forms.
What documents come up most for pending cases?
Emergency Powers of Attorney, parental consent forms, custodial authorizations, and affidavits attached to a defense motion.
Is Central Valley JDAC the only juvenile facility in San Bernardino County?
It is San Bernardino County’s central juvenile detention and assessment facility, where the county’s juvenile cases are primarily processed.
Do I need a lawyer to get a notary in to see my child?
Yes. California juvenile facilities require the youth’s attorney to be involved — either requesting a court order authorizing our entry, or bringing us in as part of their own professional visit.
Can my child sign documents if they are under 18?
In many cases yes, but it depends on the specific document. A notary can notarize the signature of a competent signer regardless of age; the document’s legal effect is a question for your attorney.
Do you access sealed juvenile records?
No. We do not access or handle sealed juvenile records protected under Welfare & Institutions Code § 827. We notarize signatures on documents your family or attorney provides.
How do I confirm my child's status at Central Valley JDAC?
Call the facility directly at (909) 383-1769, or ask your attorney to confirm placement and case status.
