Let the inmate know that a notary will be coming for an official visit, and the purpose of the visit.
Prepare and fill out documents as much as possible. (We are not attorneys and cannot provide advice or guidance on filling out documents)
If available, provide inmate State DL/ID or Passport (US or Foreign).
If you do not possess the inmate's ID, ask inmate to bring their OC Sheriff issued jail ID card to official visit.
For city jails, jail issued ID cannot not be used and a physical government ID is required, no exceptions.
