Notarize Your Documents with Online Notary in Florida
No Appointment, No Walk-ins



Status of Online Notary in Florida
Firstly, the House on April 24, 2019, and then by the Senate on May 2, 2019, Bill “CS/CS/HB 409: Electronic Legal Documents” was passed that legalized Remote online Notarization in Florida. However, the bill became effective on January 1, 2020.
As per this bill, the Notaries that are already commissioned by the state to practice traditional notarization need to first:
- Complete 2-hour training course
- Get an E&O insurance policy and surety bond
- Collaborate with a Remote online service technology provider(Like Lottalegal)
- Get a digital certificate, electronic seal, and electronic journal
- Register with the department of state
To legally practice remote online Notarization in Florida.
With the legalization of RON, the terms;
“before,” “Appear before,” or “in the presence of,”
are seen as synonyms for “virtual presence,” which was initially confined to “physical presence.”
However, it is valid only if the “virtual presence” chosen ensures that both the signer and notary see and hear each other with the help of audio-video technology.
Instead of showing ID proofs physically in front of the notary, the signer can verify their identity from the online notary public by “Remote presentation.”
Here “Remote Representation” describes the transfer of the image of a Government-issued identification credential by the signer in good quality so that the Notary public can easily carry the credential analysis via audio-video call.
The bill also provides:
- “Definitions for online notarization and the required technology:
- Procedures, standards, and requirements for online notarization:
- Registration requirements for online notaries:
- A certificate to be used by online notaries:
- Standards for supervising the witnessing of electronic records: and the bill also authorizes the use of an electronic will.”
After the act became active in 2020, the remote online notaries practice remote online notarization in Florida following the above guidelines.
