Notary at Clark County Detention Center — What Families Need to Know
Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) allows notary publics as professional visitors — one of the few local facilities that does — making it possible to have legal documents notarized for an incarcerated family member without waiting for a court hearing or attorney appointment.
If your family member is being held at CCDC at 330 S Casino Center Blvd in downtown Las Vegas, you can have a power of attorney, will, vehicle release, affidavit, or other legal document notarized during professional visiting hours. Lake Mead Mobile Notary coordinates CCDC notary visits regularly — same-day service may be possible depending on availability.
This guide covers everything families need to know before scheduling a notary visit at Clark County Detention Center: visiting hours, what to bring, which documents can be notarized, pricing, and what to expect on the day of the visit.
CCDC is Clark County's main jail facility, operated by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD). It processes pretrial detainees and individuals serving short sentences for misdemeanor and low-level felony offenses. Unlike Nevada state prisons, CCDC is located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas and is accessible 7 days a week for professional visitors including notary publics.
Address: 330 S Casino Center Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89101
Phone: (702) 671-3900
Operated by: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD)
Type: County detention facility (pretrial and sentenced misdemeanor/felony)
Notary access: Allowed — professional visitor category
Same-day notary possible: Yes, depending on schedule — confirm hours before booking
CCDC offers multiple professional visiting sessions 7 days a week. Notary publics visit under the professional visitor category — the same access level as attorneys, social workers, and other licensed professionals. Always confirm current hours directly with CCDC before booking, as schedules can change.
CCDC visiting schedules are subject to change due to lockdowns, facility emergencies, and policy updates. Call CCDC at (702) 671-3900 to confirm current professional visiting hours before finalizing your appointment with us.
Any person currently detained at CCDC who has mental capacity and signs voluntarily can have documents notarized during a professional visit. Nevada notary law under NRS Chapter 240 does not restrict notarization based on an individual's incarceration status. The detained individual's current CCDC-issued ID card serves as acceptable identity verification.
Family members or attorneys who accompany the notary must present their own valid government-issued photo ID at check-in. You do not need to be an attorney to arrange a notary visit — any authorized family member, friend, or representative can initiate the process.
| Step | What Happens | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1. You call us | Contact Lake Mead Mobile Notary at (702) 748-7444 with the inmate's full name, booking number, facility (CCDC), and document type. | We confirm same-day availability or schedule the earliest slot during professional visiting hours. |
| 2. Confirm CCDC hours | Call CCDC at (702) 671-3900 to verify current professional visiting hours for the day of your appointment. | Hours are generally consistent 7 days/week but can change. This step prevents a wasted trip. |
| 3. Prepare documents | Have the document fully completed — every field filled in — but all signature lines left blank. Print the document before the visit. | Documents with pre-existing signatures cannot be notarized. The inmate must sign in front of the notary. |
| 4. Notary arrives at CCDC | We arrive at the facility, present our Nevada notary commission credentials, and complete professional visitor check-in with CCDC staff. | Notaries are admitted under the professional visitor category — no attorney required to arrange the visit. |
| 5. Identity verification | The inmate presents their current CCDC-issued ID card. The notary verifies identity per NRS Chapter 240. | CCDC facility ID satisfies Nevada's identity verification requirement. No outside ID needed for the inmate. |
| 6. Document signed & notarized | The inmate signs all required signature lines in front of the notary. The notary applies the Nevada notarial certificate and official seal. | For wills, two witnesses must also be present and sign the self-proving affidavit — ask about our Witnesses Provided add-on. |
| 7. Document delivered | The notarized original is handed to the family member, attorney, or authorized party present. Ready for immediate legal use. | Make certified copies for tow yards, DMV, banks, or attorneys as needed after notarization. |
The base fee for a CCDC notary visit is $79. This covers travel to the facility, professional visitor check-in coordination, and notarization of one document with one signer. No mileage surcharge applies for CCDC since it is within the standard Las Vegas service area.
| Fee Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Base CCDC visit fee | $79 | Travel, check-in coordination, and notarization of one document with one signer |
| Additional signer | +$15 per signer | Per each additional signer beyond the first during the same visit |
| Additional documents | Custom quote | Quoted at booking based on document type and volume |
| Mileage surcharge | None for CCDC | CCDC is within the standard service area — no extra mileage fee applies |
If a power of attorney and vehicle release authorization both need to be notarized, bundling them in a single visit is significantly more cost-effective than two separate trips. Let us know every document you need when you call so we can prepare and quote accurately before confirming.
CCDC visiting hours are generally consistent, but facility lockdowns, emergencies, and administrative changes can affect availability without public notice. Always call (702) 671-3900 on the morning of your appointment to confirm hours before the notary travels to the facility.
A notary cannot legally notarize a signature that was not made in their presence. If the inmate signed the document before the notary arrived, the notarization is invalid and institutions will reject it. Leave all signature lines completely blank until the notary is present in the visiting room.
A will is only legally valid in Nevada if two witnesses are also present and sign the self-proving affidavit — notarization alone is not sufficient. If you are having a will notarized at CCDC, ask about our Witnesses Provided service so two witnesses accompany the notary to the facility. Without them, the will may not be admitted to probate.
Henderson Detention Center does not allow notary publics on site — only licensed attorneys. If your family member has been transferred to Henderson or is held there, a notary visit is not an option. Contact Henderson Detention Center at (702) 267-6000 and consult with the inmate's attorney about alternatives.
Most powers of attorney and authorization letters require an acknowledgment certificate. Sworn affidavits require a jurat. Submitting a document with the wrong certificate type will result in rejection by banks, the DMV, or courts. If you're unsure which certificate is required, let us know the receiving institution and we'll confirm before the visit.
CCDC allows notary publics as professional visitors. Unlike Henderson Detention Center (which restricts professional visits to attorneys only), CCDC's professional visitor category includes notaries, social workers, and other licensed professionals. You do not need to be an attorney or hire one to arrange a notary visit at CCDC.
Yes — same-day scheduling is possible at CCDC depending on availability. Call Lake Mead Mobile Notary at (702) 748-7444 as early as possible. We'll confirm whether a notary is available for the morning, afternoon, or evening professional visiting session that same day. Confirm CCDC hours at (702) 671-3900 before booking.
The inmate must present their current CCDC-issued facility ID card at the time of notarization. This satisfies the identity verification requirement under Nevada notary law (NRS Chapter 240). No outside ID — like a driver's license — is needed for the incarcerated signer, since personal belongings are typically held by the facility.
Yes. A properly notarized power of attorney executed at CCDC is legally valid and immediately usable. The authorized party (your "agent") can begin acting under the POA as soon as they receive the original notarized document. For financial institutions, make a certified copy before using the original — some banks will want to retain it on file.
If CCDC goes into lockdown, all professional visits including notary appointments are cancelled until the lockdown is lifted. This is outside anyone's control. If this happens, we reschedule at no additional charge. This is why we always recommend calling CCDC on the morning of the appointment to confirm visiting status before the notary travels.
Yes — and we strongly recommend bundling documents when possible. If you need both a power of attorney and a vehicle release authorization notarized, we handle both in one visit. Additional documents are quoted at booking. Let us know everything you need when you first call so we prepare for the full scope of the visit.
Lake Mead Mobile Notary coordinates CCDC notary visits regularly, including same-day appointments when schedule allows. Call or text us with the inmate's name, booking number, and the documents you need notarized — we'll confirm availability and handle the rest.
