What Does a Florida Notary Do?

Think of a notary as the guardian of trust in everyday transactions. In Florida, notaries are appointed by the Governor to serve as impartial witnesses. Our job is to:
Verify identities (“trust me, it’s me” doesn’t count).
Administer oaths and affirmations.
Ensure signatures are genuine and voluntary.
Certify certain copies of documents.
Keep fraud out of the picture—because shady deals belong in the streets, not your paperwork.

Responsibilities We Take Seriously

Accuracy: Every signature, oath, and acknowledgment must be done by the book.
Impartiality: Whether you’re a CEO or a college student, you get the same fair treatment.
Confidentiality: Your business stays your business.
Integrity: No shortcuts, no “close enough.”

Ethical Standards (a.k.a. The Notary Code of Honor)
Serve everyone equally, without discrimination.
Never notarize documents where we have a personal interest.
Protect sensitive information like it’s a state secret.
Uphold the law and maintain professionalism at all times.

Why Choose Me as Your Notary?
Because you deserve more than just a stamp. You deserve someone who:

✅ Explains the process clearly
✅ You can trust. I value honesty and I always work in my client's best interest.
✅ Keeps things professional and stress free (yes, paperwork can be painless).
✅ Treats your documents with the respect they deserve.

Examples of Documents We Notarize
Deeds – Real estate transfers made official (because “handshake deals” don’t cut it).
Power of Attorney Forms – Giving someone the legal power to act on your behalf, with all the proper safeguards.
Affidavits – Sworn written statements, notarized to prove you mean business.
Wills & Trusts – Helping ensure your wishes are honored, with no room for doubt.
Healthcare Directives – Making sure your medical choices are respected when it matters most.
Sworn Statements – Because sometimes you need more than just your word.
Contracts & Agreements – From business deals to personal arrangements.

Solemnizing Marriages – Yes, Florida notaries can actually officiate weddings.

✨ Why all this matters: Each of these documents are important. A notary’s seal isn’t just ink—it’s a guarantee of authenticity, impartiality, and legal protection.
