Online Notary for Florida — Remote Notarization in About 15 Minutes
From Miami and Tampa to Orlando, Jacksonville and the Panhandle — or a snowbird who's back up north for the summer — notarize your Florida documents on live video, with remote witnesses when your document needs them.
Is online notarization legal in Florida?
Yes. Florida's remote online notarization law (House Bill 409, 2019) took effect January 1, 2020 and is found in Part II of Chapter 117, Florida Statutes. Florida online notaries must be registered with the Florida Department of State.
Florida is one of the few states that also lets witnesses appear remotely. That matters because many Florida documents need two witnesses — deeds, for example. During an online session, witnesses can join on video, so you don't need to find two people in the room with you.
Every Florida online notarization is recorded in full (audio and video) and the recording is retained, which creates a strong record if the signature is ever questioned.

Before you start: Florida checklist
- Wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other estate documents carry extra safeguards in Florida. Signers are asked screening questions, and if the signer is a "vulnerable adult" the witnesses must be physically present — so some estate documents may not qualify for a fully remote session. An estate-planning attorney can tell you whether yours does.
- If your document needs witnesses, add them in the platform before your session (on-demand witnesses are available for an added fee).
- If the document is going to a title company, lender, court or county clerk, confirm they accept online notarization first.
