Why We Schedule Appointments Via Email

As mobile service providers serving Southeast Georgia, much of our time is spent traveling between appointments and assisting clients in person. Additionally, appointments are often scheduled weeks in advance.

For these reasons, appointment requests and scheduling communications should be submitted via email whenever possible. Written communication allows us to accurately reference appointment details, maintain scheduling records, and ensure requests are handled efficiently.

For the most current information regarding our FCI Jesup services, all phone and text inquiries may be directed to this webpage.

All FCI Jesup appointments are scheduled exclusively in writing via email.

Important Notice: Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL)

A Notary Public is not an attorney and may not provide legal advice or legal services.

To comply with state law and professional standards, Notaries are prohibited from:

Selecting Documents

Notaries may not determine, recommend, or advise which document should be used for a particular transaction or legal matter.

Choosing Notarial Acts or Certificate Wording

Notaries may not decide which type of notarization is required or what certificate wording should be used.

Assisting With Document Preparation

Notaries may not draft, prepare, complete, or instruct individuals on how to complete legal documents.

Providing Legal Advice

Notaries may not interpret laws, answer legal questions, explain legal rights, or offer opinions regarding legal matters.

Adhering to these standards helps protect the public and preserves the integrity of the notarial profession.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you provide a copy of the incarcerated individual's facility-issued ID?

No. Any copies needed must be requested by the incarcerated individual through their assigned counselor, who can provide guidance and assistance with the process.

How are appointments scheduled?

Appointments are limited and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Can you tell me which documents I need or help me complete them?

No. Notaries cannot select, prepare, or advise on documents. Clients are responsible for determining which forms are needed and ensuring documents are completed before the appointment.

What happens if a document is lost?

We do not retain copies of client documents. A new appointment must be scheduled and applicable fees will apply.

Who may utilize these services?

Services are available to individuals housed at FCI Jesup, FSL Jesup, and FPC Jesup, subject to facility approval and availability.

What happens if the facility is on lockdown?

If the facility is on lockdown during a scheduled appointment, access may be denied and the appointment will be rescheduled for the next available date.

What if the incarcerated individual is housed in the SHU?

If housed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU), services cannot be performed. The appointment will automatically be rescheduled for the next available date at no additional charge.

What happens if an appointment is missed?

If we are unable to complete an appointment due to facility-related circumstances, it will generally be rescheduled for the next available service date without additional fees.

How do wedding services work?

Wedding appointments are limited to marriage license signing and related notarial services. Facility personnel collect and return completed licenses to the appropriate court. Online wedding license submission is available on the Wayne County Probate Clerk’s website.

Please provide:

• Full name of both spouses

• BOP ID Number

For wedding license information for those outside of Wayne County, GA, please contact your local county probate court clerk’s office for guidance on marrying an incarcerated individual.

Are specific appointment times provided?

No. Appointment times are not released prior to the scheduled date due to facility security and operational requirements. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Can you notify me when the appointment has been completed?

No. Given the volume of inquiries we manage and the nature of our mobile service operations, individual appointment completion notifications are not provided. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Why did I receive shipping tracking information before the appointment occurred?

Shipping labels are often prepared prior to the scheduled appointment, which may trigger automated tracking notifications before services have been completed. Receiving a tracking email does not indicate that an appointment has occurred or that services have been finalized. For your convenience, we encourage you to save all tracking correspondence, as it contains important information that may be useful for future reference and delivery updates.
