How to get a document notarized online in Florida

To get a document notarized online in Florida: send the PDF to a Florida remote online notary, pay, verify your identity with a photo ID and identity questions, then sign on camera while the notary watches. The notary applies an electronic seal, and you download the notarized PDF. It costs $40 for one act here.

Step by step

  1. Send the request and the PDF

    Fill in the online notarization request, attach the document as a PDF, and list each signer's name and email. The form shows the price as you go: $40 for one notarial act.

  2. Pay the Square invoice

    We review the request and email an itemized Square invoice. Your session is confirmed when it is paid. Nothing is charged before then.

  3. Open the session link

    Each signer receives an email from the notarization platform with a link to the session. Use a device with a camera, microphone, and steady internet connection.

  4. Verify your identity

    Hold your government-issued photo ID to the camera for credential analysis, then answer identity questions drawn from credit-bureau records. If identity cannot be verified, Florida law does not allow the online notarization to proceed (§117.265(4), F.S.).

  5. Sign on camera

    The notary confirms who you are and that you are signing willingly. A signer outside Florida confirms they want a Florida notary to act under Florida law (§117.265(3), F.S.). You sign electronically while the notary watches.

  6. Download the notarized document

    The notary applies the electronic seal and certificate. You receive the notarized PDF, and the recording and journal are kept at least ten years (§117.245, F.S.).

Session length depends on the number of signers and documents; the identity check and signing for one signer and one document is typically short. The $40 price covers one notarial act; each additional act is $25.

Before you start

  • Check that the document is complete. Florida notaries cannot notarize a document with blank spaces (§117.107(10), F.S.).
  • Do not sign ahead if the notary wording says "sworn to" or "subscribed before me." Those must be signed in the notary's presence.
  • Confirm the receiving party accepts an online notarization.
  • If the document needs witnesses, arrange them or ask us to. Remote witnesses must be U.S. residents located in the United States (§117.285, F.S.).
  • Have your ID within reach and your device charged.

If something goes wrong

  • The identity questions fail. The session cannot continue. Signers without U.S. credit history usually need an in-person appointment instead.
  • The camera or connection drops. The session pauses and resumes, or is rescheduled.
  • The notary cannot proceed. If a signer appears unable to understand the document, Florida law requires the notary to stop (§117.107(5), F.S.). The notary also stops if a signer appears to be signing under pressure.

After the session

Email the notarized PDF to whoever needs it. If it must be recorded with a Florida county, it can be eRecorded as is. Do not print and rescan it; editing the file can break its electronic seal.
