Each one has its own rules about who can visit, when, and what you can bring in. We ask first and tell you what they say before we book. We can't promise access. **Does the person need ID?** A notary has to be satisfied of the signer's identity. A facility-issued ID may or may not be accepted for a given document. Tell us what the signer has and we'll say what we can do. If we can't confirm identity, we can't notarize. **Can you tell us what to put in the document?** No. We notarize signatures. For what the document should say, ask the attorney or the office that requested it. **Do you charge extra for facility visits?** Facility visits take extra time for security and waiting, so the fee is quoted for the visit, not the standard rate. We confirm it before we go. **Can you notarize through glass or by video?** That depends on the facility's setup and the law for the document. We tell you what is possible once we've spoken with the facility. ## In short Correctional facility notary visits are quoted per visit, because each facility sets its own scheduling and entry rules. We ask the facility what it requires, arrange the visit, check the signer's identity and notarize on site where the facility allows it. **Where we cover:** New Jersey county jails and state facilities, by arrangement - [Notarizing documents for a jail or prison inmate](/notary/guides/notarizing-documents-for-a-jail-or-prison-inmate) - [What to expect when a notary visits a jail](/notary/guides/what-to-expect-when-a-notary-visits-a-jail) The facility decides access; we can't guarantee a visit time.
