Were you asked for an affidavit and do not know where to begin?

A court, bank, or title company requests an affidavit

The receiving party requests a particular affidavit, such as continuous marriage, domicile, or heirship, and provides form or content requirements.

Concern about a technical defect

For example, a blank field, incorrect notarial certificate, or signature completed outside the required notarial presence may delay or prevent acceptance.

The transaction has a deadline

In practice, a real-estate closing, construction payment, or bank request may depend on timely delivery of a properly executed affidavit.

You are outside Miami or the United States

You need to take an oath or affirmation and sign before a Florida notarial officer but cannot attend the office in person.

What is an affidavit, and what does a jurat do?

For this reason, an affidavit is a written statement of facts that the signer swears or affirms is true before an authorized official, such as a Florida Notary Public. When the document requires a jurat, the signer appears in person or through an eligible RON session, takes an oath or affirmation, and signs in the notarial officer’s presence. By contrast, an acknowledgment is different: the signer acknowledges a voluntary signature but does not swear to the document’s contents. Therefore, the document drafter or receiving party determines which notarial act the document requires.

  • The form identified by the receiving party: we type your factual information exactly as you provide it in writing.
  • A complete document: Florida law prohibits notarizing an incomplete document.
  • Oath and notarial certificate: when a jurat is required, the officer administers an oath or affirmation and completes the certificate.
  • Remote appearance: signers may execute eligible affidavits through Florida remote online notarization.
  • International use: the destination authority determines whether it requires an apostille, legalization, or translation.
  • Transparent fees: Florida’s statutory fee limit applies to traditional notarial acts; preparation, RON, courier, and other services carry separate prices.

Six affidavits requested in Florida

In addition, we provide clerical preparation and notarization for commonly requested affidavits using the selected form and factual information supplied by the signer. You or your legal adviser must choose the form.

Affidavit of Continuous Marriage

A title company or attorney may request this affidavit in a real-estate matter after the death of a spouse to document the stated marital history and property information.

Contractor’s Final Affidavit

As a result, Florida Statute §713.06 addresses a contractor’s final affidavit in construction-lien matters. The form states payment information for subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers as provided by the contractor.

Declaration of Domicile

For example, Florida Statute §222.17 authorizes a declaration stating the signer’s Florida residence and intent to maintain Florida as a permanent home.

Small Estate Affidavits

Florida Statutes §§735.301 and 735.303 describe limited procedures for certain small-estate expenses and qualifying bank accounts. Confirm eligibility with the institution or a licensed attorney.

Affidavit of Heirship

In practice, a receiving party may use sworn family-history information in a title, vehicle, or estate-related file. The appropriate form and legal effect depend on the transaction and applicable law.

Designation of Homestead

For this reason, Florida Statute §222.01 provides a procedure involving designation of homestead before levy. Because this affects creditor rights and litigation, we strongly recommend legal advice.

How does the Notary Public Center process work?

Our process follows the identity-verification and notarial requirements applicable to the selected in-person or remote transaction.

1. Instructions and factual information

In addition, you obtain the required form from the receiving party or attorney and provide the requested factual information in writing.

2. Clerical preparation

As a result, we type the information into the selected form and check that you completed all required fields without changing or advising on legal content.

3. Identity verification

Before signing, you present current government-issued identification acceptable under Florida law.

4. Oath or affirmation and signature

For example, when a jurat is required, the signer takes an oath or affirmation and signs in the Florida Notary Public’s presence, in person or through an eligible RON session.

5. Completion of the notarial certificate

In practice, the notarial officer completes the appropriate certificate with the required signature, seal, date, venue, and commission information.

Frequently asked questions about affidavits in Florida

For this reason, no. Florida rules prohibit nonlawyers from providing legal advice, evaluating legal consequences, or selecting forms for another person. Obtain that direction from a licensed attorney or the institution requesting the document. After you identify the form, we can type the factual information you provide and perform the requested notarial act.

Not when the receiving party requires a jurat. A jurat requires the signer to take an oath or affirmation and sign in the notarial officer’s presence, including an eligible remote online session. The signer must sign a previously executed document again in the officer’s presence after the oath or affirmation.

In addition, for a jurat, the signer takes an oath or affirmation that the statements are true and signs in the notarial officer’s presence. For an acknowledgment, the signer acknowledges that the signature is voluntary and may have signed earlier. The receiving party or document drafter determines the required notarial act.

As a result, a Florida Notary Public may notarize a signature on a document written in another language if all legal requirements are satisfied and the officer can communicate directly with the signer. However, the notarial officer does not certify the accuracy or legal effect of the document’s contents. In addition, our service is available in English and Spanish.

Florida Statute §117.05 sets a maximum fee of $10 for each traditional notarial act. Separate fees may apply for document preparation, remote online notarization, courier service, apostille processing, or other requested services. We provide a price before work begins.

For example, when you provide complete factual information and current identification, we may complete preparation, the oath or affirmation, signing, and notarization in one appointment. Therefore, availability and timing depend on the form, signers, and requested services.

In practice, bring current, unaltered government-issued identification with a photograph and signature, such as a driver license, state identification card, U.S. passport, or qualifying foreign passport. Also bring the factual information required by the form.

Florida permits remote online notarization. After identity verification, an eligible signer may take the oath or affirmation and sign electronically by video conference before a Florida Online Notary Public. Acceptance depends on the document and receiving authority.

For this reason, the selected form may request factual information about the marriage and property, including the acquisition date, legal description, spouse’s date of death, and a certified death record. The title company or attorney should identify the required form, supporting records, and witnesses.

In addition, Florida Department of Revenue Form DR-312 is the Affidavit of No Florida Estate Tax Due. A title company or attorney may request it in a real-estate matter involving a deceased owner. We can type the factual information supplied by the customer and notarize the signer’s oath.

Florida Statute §735.303 describes eligible family members and conditions for payment of qualifying small bank accounts. Because eligibility and liability are legal questions, confirm the requirements with the financial institution or a licensed attorney before selecting the form.

As a result, it may require an apostille, consular legalization, or translation. Therefore, the destination country and receiving authority determine the requirements. In other words, an apostille authenticates the public official’s signature or seal; it does not validate the affidavit’s contents or guarantee acceptance.

For example, it depends on the type of affidavit and the receiving party. A customer may record some documents with a county clerk, while others are delivered to a bank, title company, court, or other institution. Obtain filing instructions from the receiving party or licensed attorney.

Yes. The service is bilingual. We assist clients in English or Spanish and prepare the selected affidavit in the language required for the transaction.
