How to Choose the Right Florida Notary
The questions to ask before booking a Florida notary — from bonding and background checks to loan signing certifications and mobile availability.
Verify commission and bonding
Every Florida notary should carry a current commission and a $7,500 surety bond. Reputable mobile notaries also maintain Errors & Omissions insurance well above that minimum.
Ask about specialty training
Loan signings, estate documents, and apostilles all reward specialized experience. A general notary can handle a single-page affidavit; a certified loan signing agent should handle your refinance.
Confirm availability and coverage area
Confirm the notary travels to your city, offers evening or weekend appointments, and gives clear, flat-rate pricing before the appointment.
