What Documents Can a Mobile Notary Notarize in Florida?
A quick guide to the everyday documents a Florida mobile notary can notarize — and what to have ready before your appointment.
One of the most common questions we get is simple: what can actually be notarized? In Florida, a notary public can notarize everyday documents such as powers of attorney (already prepared by you or your attorney), affidavits, real estate documents, business documents, and parental consent forms.
What a notary does — and doesn't — do
A notary's job is to verify the identity of the signer and witness the signing of the document. Jimenez Notary is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or prepare legal documents — the document itself should already be prepared by you or your attorney before the appointment.
What to have ready
- A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID for each signer.
- The document itself — unsigned. The signature needs to happen in front of the notary.
- Any additional signers present, each with their own valid ID.
Healthcare documents
Healthcare surrogate designations and advance directives can also be notarized. Hospital visits are handled case-by-case depending on the facility's policies and the signer's condition, so it's best to call ahead to confirm before booking a hospital appointment.
