Simplify your application process with our New Notary Package. It includes the required bond and supplies needed to become commissioned for one low price.
Become a Florida notary and get state-approved for remote online notarization (RON). This package includes:
RON allows the notarization of electronic documents online through a secure live video call. With the proper state authorization, you can verify a signer's identity, witness their electronic signature, and complete the notarization without meeting in person.
Adding RON to your toolkit provides a wide range of benefits, including less paperwork, personal liability protection, and simplified record-keeping. Plus, it allows you to expand your services to clients located anywhere in the United States.
To become authorized, you must complete a separate two-hour course and submit an additional application. Our upgrade package makes the process simple by helping you become commissioned and state-authorized to perform RONs in one convenient package.
Application Requirements

| Residency: | Applicants must reside in the state and maintain residency throughout the four-year commission. |
| Education: | At least three hours of state-approved education must be completed within one year before submitting an application. |
| Moral Character: | Individuals who were convicted of a felony or received a judgment withholding adjudication of guilt may receive their commission at the discretion of the state governor.

Our program gives you a guided, easy-to-understand experience that meets this requirement. Instead of sorting through dense legal language on your own, you can follow lessons that explain each requirement in practical terms.

Our team works with applicants every day and is on hand to help guide you through the full process, from education to commission application. That way, you get a partner to help support you throughout your career — not just during your initial application.
The three-hour course is required for first-time applicants who have not previously been commissioned in the state, but it is not required for renewing notaries. A separate two-hour RON course is required for anyone seeking authorization to perform online notarizations.
If everything is completed correctly and in order, the entire process typically takes about three weeks from start to receiving your notary stamp and certificate. Processing times can vary. Completing the required education and submitting accurate information can help prevent delays.
Your commission allows you to perform authorized notarial acts anywhere within the state. You are not limited to the county where you live or work.
Commissions are valid for four years. When it's time to renew, Florida Notary Service can help make the process simple and convenient.
