My Home Notary Service, by Manuel Puga, provides Jail mobile notary services including, but not limited to, the following locations: 

 

We are currently offering courier services only for the County of Santa Clara Main Jail and Elmwood Correctional Facility.​​

Typical documents that inmates frequently ask to get notarized are the following: 
Minor Consent Travel Forms, Power of Attorney Documents, Last Will and Testament, Application for Duplicate or Transfer of Title Forms, Grant Deed, Living Trust Documents, Deed(s), Deed of Trust, Legal Documents for Attorney, Impounded Car, Property Release, Unable to Appear for the Marriage License, Guardianship for a Minor, Vital Record Request and more.

Jail Mobile Notary Services are only provided during jail facility business hours. 

For a successful notarization, please read the following information:

​​​​​​​​

  • Have your documents in hand and filled out in their entirety, EXCEPT signatures.

    • Ensure the documents reflect the same name as is recorded by the Jail facility on the ID (wristband) or Photo ID if one is presented for the notarization.​

  • If the document does not have a notarial act attached to it, you must contact the issuing or receiving entity to determine which notarial act is needed.

    • If you do not know what type of notarial act is needed, the mobile notary may show you the most commonly used California Notarial acts. However, you will still be responsible for informing the mobile notary of the one you need. 

  • Signers must be alert and aware and not under duress or heavy medication that would prevent them from signing the documents. 

  • If the notary believes the signer shows signs of lack of awareness, such as inability to communicate directly, confusion, reluctance to sign, etc., the notary may stop the notarization. However, travel fees and non-refundable secured deposits may apply.

  • I am not an attorney; therefore, by law, I cannot explain, interpret, instruct, advise, or direct you on completing a document. By doing so, I would be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. If the requester/signer has an essential question about the document, they should address it to either the issuing or receiving entity or an attorney.
