Can a notary notarize for an inmate in a Florida jail?

Yes, if the facility allows the visit. Florida law lists ID that works for inmates. A Florida Department of Corrections inmate ID card counts. So does a federal Bureau of Prisons inmate ID. In a county jail, where personal ID is usually taken at booking, a sworn written statement from a law enforcement officer can stand in. The officer states the ID was confiscated and the inmate is the person signing. That rule is in section 117.05(5)(b)2. Before you book, call the facility. Ask how they schedule professional or notary visits, whether the document can be passed to the inmate, and whether an officer will sign the ID statement. Have the documents filled out except for the signature before the visit. The notary cannot explain the documents or give legal advice. Each notarial act is $10, the Florida cap.
