Frequently Asked Questions
Get the clarity you need before initiating the notarization process. If your specific scenario isn't covered here, reach out to our team directly.
Can a family member arrange the notary appointment?
Yes, in most cases, families initiate the process. We will coordinate directly with you to gather details, then work with the facility to schedule the visit.
How much does inmate notarization cost?
Costs vary based on the facility location, travel distance, and the time required for security clearance. Blue Ink fees starts at $150. Contact us for a precise quote tailored to your situation.
Can a notary enter any jail or prison?
We are authorized to visit county jails, state prisons, and federal facilities across South Florida. However, each facility has its own strict clearance and scheduling protocols we must follow.
Can an inmate sign a power of attorney?
Yes. An inmate can sign a Durable, Limited, or Medical Power of Attorney, provided they are mentally competent and willing to sign the document.
Can an inmate sign estate planning documents?
Yes, including wills and trusts. Keep in mind these often require additional witnesses, which we must arrange and clear with the facility in advance.
How long does the process take?
Scheduling can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending entirely on the facility's current visitation rules, staffing, and availability.
What happens if the inmate lacks identification?
If an inmate's personal ID was confiscated, we can often rely on the facility's official identification procedures (like a wristband or ID card) or use credible witnesses, depending on the circumstances.
Can witnesses be provided?
Yes, if the document requires witnesses (such as a will or certain property deeds), we can typically arrange for them, as facility staff generally cannot serve as witnesses.
Can prison documents be notarized remotely?
While Florida allows Remote Online Notarization (RON), inmates rarely have the necessary internet access or approved devices to legally complete a RON session. In-person visits are almost always required.
Are there specific days notaries can visit?
Yes, legal visitation is strictly controlled by each facility. We navigate these schedules to find an approved time slot that aligns with the institution's rules.
Does the facility need to approve the document beforehand?
Some facilities require legal documents to be reviewed or sent through specific legal mail channels prior to our visit. We will guide you through these specific requirements.
Can I be present during the notarization?
Usually not. Notary visits are typically treated as professional or legal visits, which are conducted separately from standard family visitation hours.
What if the inmate refuses to sign?
A notary cannot force or coerce a signature. If the inmate refuses to sign, the notarization cannot proceed, and travel fees will still apply.
Do you service all of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach?
Yes, Blue Ink Signing Solutions covers major county, state, and federal correctional facilities across all three of these South Florida counties.
What if the facility goes into lockdown?
Lockdowns result in the immediate cancellation of all visits, including professional legal visits. If this happens, we will work with you to reschedule as soon as the lockdown is lifted.
