FAQs

What is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by state government — typically by the secretary of state — to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. These official acts are called notarizations, or notarial acts. Notaries are publicly commissioned as "ministerial" officials, meaning that they are expected to follow written rules without the exercise of significant personal discretion, as would otherwise be the case with a "judicial" official.

As a Notary Public, I am commissioned by the State of Florida, Office of the Governor, to administer oaths, witness the signing of documents, and deter fraud by verifying the identity of people signing legally binding documents, and notarizing their signatures to verify authenticity.

What is a Loan Signing Agent?

A Loan Signing Agent is a Notary who has special expertise to handle and notarize loan papers. For lenders, Loan Signing Agents are the critical final link to complete the loan. A Loan Signing Agent is hired as an independent contractor to ensure that real estate loan documents are executed by the borrower, notarized and returned for processing on time. Completing this critical part of the loan process enables the loan to be funded.

What types of IDs do I need?

In order to properly notarize a document, I must be able to verify your identity.  A valid Florida driver's license, ID card, U.S. Passport, or a driver's license from another State, or U.S. Territory, are all acceptable forms of identification.

Other acceptable forms of acceptable identification  for Notary Services include:  

• U.S. military ID or Veteran ID card *1
• State, county and local government IDs
• Foreign passport*2
• Permanent resident card, or "green card," issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
• Driver's license officially issued in Mexico or Canada
• ID deemed acceptable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
• Inmate ID issued by the State Department of Corrections or Federal Bureau of Prisons, if the inmate is in state or federal custody
• Inmate ID issued by a county sheriff, if the inmate is in the custody of the county sheriff

1 A veteran health identification card issued by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs 

2 A passport issued by a foreign government if the document is stamped by the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services

What is a Remote Online Notary?

With remote notarization, a signer personally appears before the Notary at the time of the notarization using audio-visual technology over the internet instead of being physically present in the same room. Remote online notarization is also called webcam notarization, online notarization, or virtual notarization.
