How to Become a Notary in Florida
You might wonder how to become a notary in Florida, only to
find the process to be a bit overwhelming. The good news is that it is only
overwhelming if you try to fill out your notary application on your own! The
process becomes much easier with the help of a skilled notary public guide. In
many instances, you can begin the process in just six steps.
Step 1 – Complete the Florida new or renewal
notary bond package order form from Notary Bonding.
Step 2 – Complete the Florida new or renewal
notary public commission application.
Step 3 – Do you have to take the required
online notary education course? NotaryBonding.com provides a FREE online notary
education course offered by Florida Department of State.
- Renewal Notaries: No, renewal notaries if your commission has not
expired for longer than 1 year, then you are EXEMPT from the online notary
education course.
- New Notaries: Yes, new notaries are required to take an online notary education course to obtain your notary education certificate of completion.
Step 4 – You must mail all of the completed
forms directly to the team at Notary Bonding. This is because the Florida
Department of State requires an “original signature” notary public application.
Step 5 – Once received, we will
electronically file your notary public application directly to the State of
Florida for processing. The Florida Department of State will then review it,
approve it, and mail Notary Bonding your
“original” approved official notary public certificate of office.
Step 6 – Once your “original” approved
official notary public certificate of office has been received by our team, we
will then order your official seal stamp and mail you everything you need to
begin your career as a notary public, including your certificate of office,
notary errors and omissions policy, and your official seal stamp.
