Frequently Asked Questions — Florida Notarization
Is remote online notarization legal in Florida?
Yes. Florida enacted comprehensive RON legislation in 2020 under HB 743. Florida was among the early adopters and has one of the most detailed RON frameworks in the country, including specific technology requirements.
What is the RON fee cap in Florida?
Florida allows notaries to charge up to $25 per notarial act performed via RON, which is higher than the $10 cap for traditional in-person notarization.
How do I get a Florida apostille?
Submit your notarized document to the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee with a $10 fee. Walk-in service takes 1-2 business days. Mail-in requests take 5-10 business days.
Why is notarization so important for Florida real estate?
Florida has one of the most active real estate markets in the US, with high volumes of domestic and international transactions. RON has become essential for remote closings, especially for out-of-state and international buyers.
Can Florida RON be used for immigration documents?
Yes. Florida's large immigrant population frequently needs notarized immigration affidavits, translations, and support documents. RON makes these services accessible without an in-person visit.
Can I use an interpreter during notarization in Florida?
Florida law (F.S. 117.107(6)) requires that the nature and effect of the document be translated for signers who do not speak English. An oral translation by an impartial interpreter during the ceremony satisfies this requirement. ClosingIQ also offers 189-language document translation.
