Online Notary in Florida: Notarize Documents by Secure Video
Get documents notarized by a Florida-commissioned online notary over a secure video call — 24/7, no travel required. Florida Remote Online Notarization has been permanently authorized since January 2020.
Reviewed by Chelsea Rivera, Founder & Commissioned Notary Public. Eligibility, retention rules, and accepted document types vary by state and by receiving party.
Is online notarization legal in Florida?
Permanently authorized. Florida has allowed Remote Online Notarization since January 1, 2020 under Fla. Stat. Ch. 117, Part II.
Governing law: Fla. Stat. §§ 117.201–117.305 (Online Notarizations)
Fee rule
Florida caps the fee for an online notarization at $25 per notarial act (Fla. Stat. § 117.275). The Remote Online Notarization service provider (RON platform) may also charge a separate technology fee.
Identification
Florida requires the online notary to verify your identity using at least two of three methods: remote presentation of a government-issued ID, credential analysis of that ID, and identity proofing through knowledge-based authentication (KBA). Personal knowledge is also acceptable.
Witnesses
Witnesses to a Florida online notarization may appear remotely in the same audio-video session. For wills and certain other documents, Florida's Online Will statute (Fla. Stat. § 732.522) imposes additional witness and supervising-attorney requirements.
Recipient acceptance
A Florida-RON notarization is valid under Florida law, but acceptance ultimately depends on the document type, the law of the state where the document will be used, and the receiving party (lender, recorder, court, or government agency).

How our notaries are vetted
Before a notary takes a single signing for us, we verify each of the items below. Renewals are tracked so coverage never lapses mid-assignment.
- 01
State commission verification
We confirm every notary holds an active commission with their state's commissioning authority before they take a single signing.
- 02
Background check provider & cadence
All notaries are screened by an accredited background check provider at onboarding and re-screened periodically per NNA-aligned standards.
- 03
$1M E&O insurance
Every notarization is backed by $1,000,000 in errors & omissions insurance, well above the typical $25K–$100K minimums most notaries carry.
- 04
Surety bond per state
Each notary carries the surety bond their state requires (amounts vary — for example California requires $15,000) so the public has a financial remedy if a notarial duty is breached.
- 05
NNA certification
All notaries are NNA Certified — they have passed the National Notary Association's certification exam and follow its Code of Professional Responsibility.
- 06
Ongoing training
Notaries in our network complete annual continuing-education refreshers covering statute updates, document categories (POA, deeds, loan signings, apostilles), and identity-fraud red flags so practice keeps pace with current law.
