A Notary Public can assist in managing the affairs of someone who has been sent to prison, as well as help manage the affairs of their family.
Prison visits can encompass all of the services we offer, such as the notarisation of powers of attorney, child travel consent forms, and other documents; the witnessing of documents, and the administering of oaths and declarations.
How do I arrange a prison visit by a notary?
A friend, family member, or lawyer of the prisoner can arrange for a Notary Public, such as us, to carry out a prison visit. Then, the prisoner must send us a Visiting Order.
It is useful and convenient if you inform us of what services you require beforehand, as well as scan and then email any documents to us. This allows the appointment to carry out smoothly, as prison visits will be more limited than a normal visit.
Why you need a Notary Public
Only a Notary Public can offer the crucial notarisation services you will need for you to effectively manage the affairs of someone who has been sent to prison.
As a registered Notary Public, we are capable of notarising a variety of documents, as well as providing certification services.
We can also assist you with getting an apostille for any documents you plan on using abroad. For example, if you needed a prison visit for a power of attorney to be signed and notarised, you may also need an apostille to use it abroad. By working closely with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, we can do this for you.
We have standard apostille service that takes 10 to 15 days, and a fast-track apostille service that takes 5 to 7 days. You can choose an option that suits you.
If you plan on using your documents somewhere that does not accept apostilles, then your documents will need to go through the process of embassy legalisation. We can help you with this as well.
Get in touch with us if you have any need of our notary services for a prison visit.
