One signature.
One clear act.
General information about acts a person commissioned as a Florida notary public may perform. Availability and service type are confirmed before an appointment.
What can a notary public do?
The correct act depends on the document and its recipient's requirements. The person requesting the service must confirm the type of act needed.
Acknowledgment of a signature.
The person appears and identifies their signature before the notary under applicable requirements.
Oaths and affirmations.
The notary may administer an oath or affirmation and complete the corresponding certificate.
Permitted attested copies.
Only for certain documents; this does not replace certified copies of vital or public records available from the official custodian.
Prepare the essentials.
Bring the complete document, identify everyone who must appear and check acceptable identification. Do not sign in advance if the document requires signing in the notary's presence.
Appearance
The signer must appear before the notary as required by the act. Remote notarization requires specific registration and procedures; it is not offered here by default.
Identification
Identity is verified through personal knowledge or evidence admitted under Florida law.
Confirmed scope
Confirm the document, date, location and availability beforehand. This page does not make a reservation or set fees.
