Documents must contain the proper Oath/Affirmation, or Acknowledgement. (See link below for examples)

If your document does not have an Oath/Affirmation, or Acknowledgement please let the Notary know at scheduling as we can provide one.

Documents must be complete. 

Notaries are prohibited from notarizing incomplete documents. Please review your document in it's entirety to ensure all blanks and spaces have been filled out. In the case the space is not applicable, please sign "N/A" or strike a single line through the space to indicate it is not applicable to you. 

If any document(s) to be notarized require a witness be present at the time of signing, it is the Signer's responsibility to facilitate the presence of a witness. 

Witnesses must have valid identification with them. 

Wills 
Florida requires that at least two (2) witnesses be present at the signing of a will, and that they be present when the Testator signs the will, and that they sign the will as witnesses. The Notary cannot act as a witness on a Self-proving Affidavit for a will, as it is improper for a Notary to notarize his/her own signature. 

Power of Attorney
Florida requires that at least two (2) disinterested Witnesses be present at the signing of a Power of Attorney. The Notary can act as a witness as well as notarize the signature. 

We strive to be ADA complaint in all of our business practices. Please contact your Notary upon scheduling if there are needs we can accommodate. 

A Signer who has a physical disability or for any reason is unable to make a typical signature may sign a document using their "mark". The Notary will prepare the signature line before the Signer places their mark. 

NOTE: Notaries are unable to explain any document to be notarized. It is the responsibility of the Signer to fully and completely understand the contents of the document. Upon request, the Notary is permitted to read the document aloud to the Signer. 

Florida Law prohibits a Notary from performing a notarization if a Signer appears unable to understand the nature of the document at the time of notarization. Furthermore, the Notary will refuse to notarize if a Signer appears disoriented or under the influence of drugs or medication. 

If you are contacting the Notary on behalf of a Signer with dementia, Alzheimer's, or a mental health problem, inform the Notary upon scheduling your appointment for any available accommodations. 

Yes. Signer(s) must be in the presence of Notary at the time the signature is notarized.
