A Notary Public is a public official appointed by a state government to serve the public as an unbiased witness in performing a number of official fraud-deterrent acts linked to the signing of vital documents. These acts are called notarial acts or notarizations. Notaries are commissioned as “ministerial” officials by the public, which means they are expected to follow written rules without using significant personal judgment, as would otherwise be the case with “judicial” officials.

A Notary’s responsibility is to verify the identification of signers of important documents including wills, powers of attorney, property deeds, as well as their desire to sign without pressure or intimidation, and their understanding of the document’s or transaction’s contents. Some notarization additionally requires the Notary to place the signer under an oath, proclaiming that the information included in the document is true and correct under penalty of perjury.

Fairness is the foundation of the Notary’s public trust. They have a moral obligation not to act in situations in which they have a personal interest. The public trusts that the Notary’s screening responsibilities are not tainted by self-interest. A notary must never refuse to serve an individual because of their nationality, politics, race, religion, sexual orientation, or status as a non-customer.

Notaries Public, guarantee the proper execution of many of the life-changing documents of private citizens, whether such transactions convey real estate, establish a prenuptial agreement, grant power of attorney, or conduct multiple of other acts that allow our civil society to operate.

A Notary Signing Agent is a notary who has special expertise in handling and notarizing loan documents. Notary Signing Agents are the final link to complete the loan process for lenders. They are hired as an independent contractor to ensure that the borrower signs, notarizes, and returns real estate loan documents on time. Before reaching Title/Escrow, this important step in the loan procedure must be completed in order for the loan to be properly closed/funded.

1. A valid form of identification must be present at the time of signing.

2. All forms must be completely filled out except where Notarial wording appears signature lines.

3. Kindly review all documents for the correct dates and correct spelling of names.

From Subsection 117.05(5) of Florida Statutes, here are some of the acceptable forms of identification that a notary public can use to identify someone and to notarize one’s signature. These forms of identification must be unexpired and must be shown in physical form (photocopies and electronic versions are not acceptable), and must have the same name and signature listed on the document being signed and ID being presented;

Driver’s License or identification card issued by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

Passport issued by the U.S. Department of State.

Passport issued by a foreign government, if stamped by the U.S. Department of Justice, Immigration, and Naturalization Service.

Driver’s License issued by the territory of the United States, another state, Canada or Mexico.

An identification card issued by the territory of the United States or a state other than Florida.
