Florida Notary FAQ.

A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID), your documents unsigned and ready, and any required witnesses if your document calls for them. Do not sign documents before the notary arrives — signing beforehand voids the notarization.

Florida RON is authorized under URAA, Chapter 117, F.S. You connect via secure video, pass identity verification (credential analysis plus knowledge-based authentication), and sign electronically during the live session. The notary applies a digital seal and tamper-evident certificate. The result is legally equivalent to in-person notarization in Florida.

Florida law caps the per-signature notary fee at $10 under §117.05(2)(a), F.S. Mobile services include a separate travel fee quoted upfront based on distance. After-hours and same-day appointments carry an additional fee, also quoted before you commit. No surprise charges.

The statutory cap for a Remote Online Notarization is $25 per signature under §117.275, F.S. Mobile Mark Notary charges the statutory rate. There is no travel fee for RON — the entire session takes place online.

Standard hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Weekend and after-hours appointments are available by arrangement and carry an after-hours fee. Call 321-510-4411 to discuss availability for urgent or off-hours needs.

Determining what type of witness your document requires is the responsibility of the document preparer or the receiving party — not the notary. We can confirm whether the document specifies a credible witness versus disinterested witnesses, but the legal requirement should be confirmed before the appointment. We do not provide witnesses as a standard service; arrange yours in advance and mention it when booking.

Most documents that can be notarized in person can be notarized online in Florida, including affidavits, deeds, bills of sale, vehicle title transfers, business contracts, financial powers of attorney, and most healthcare directives.

Yes. Once a document is notarized in Florida, we can coordinate apostille processing through the Florida Secretary of State for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Apostille handling is quoted separately based on processing speed and the receiving country.

Yes. Florida notaries may serve as the authorized representative for completing Form I-9, Section 2, on behalf of a remote employer. The notary completes the form in their capacity as an authorized representative — not as a notarial act — and does not affix a notary seal to the I-9 itself.
