Florida-commissioned Notary Public · In person in Brickell and 100% online when eligible · Bilingual service in English and Spanish · Documents for use in the United States and abroad
Notarial acts performed by a Florida-commissioned Notary Public under Chapter 117 of the Florida Statutes, including oaths, acknowledgments, authorized copy attestations, and solemnization of marriage.
Meet with us at our Brickell office or by secure video through remote online notarization when the document, signer, platform, and receiving authority meet the applicable requirements.
When applicable, we coordinate a Hague Apostille or the required authentication and consular chain, translation, and trackable shipping for presentation abroad. Final requirements and acceptance are determined by the receiving authority.
Guidance, English-language forms, and the notarial appointment can be handled in English or Spanish, according to your preference and the requirements of the transaction.
You may need a power of attorney for another country, a travel authorization for your child, or an affidavit, but the information is scattered: who prepares it, who signs it, who certifies it, and whether an apostille is required. Different offices provide different answers while the deadline approaches.
You signed it and sent it abroad, only to have it returned because of an incorrect clause, a missing certification, or an apostille requirement no one identified. Now the process, expense, and delay must be addressed again.
You are in another state or country, and the document requires a notarized signature. Traveling to Miami for one signature may not be practical, but you also need to know whether a remote notarization is permitted and will be accepted for the intended use.
Technical forms, legal terminology, and requirements that vary by county, country, or receiving authority can make a small mistake consequential, particularly when no one explains the process in your preferred language.
In the United States, notary services are official acts performed by a Florida Notary Public commissioned by the State of Florida under Chapter 117 of the Florida Statutes. Depending on the authorized notarial act, a notary may administer an oath, take an acknowledgment, attest to a photocopy of certain documents, verify a life-status affidavit, or solemnize a marriage. This role differs significantly from the civil-law notarial profession found in many countries. A Florida Notary Public verifies identity, signatures, acknowledgments, and oaths but does not draft public instruments or provide legal advice. Florida law also authorizes remote online notarization through approved technology and statutory identity-verification procedures. Whether a remote act is appropriate depends on the document, the signer’s eligibility, and the receiving authority. In practice, a complete notary service in Miami may involve three coordinated stages: proper document preparation under the customer’s specific direction, a notarial act performed in compliance with Florida law, and, when the document will be used abroad, the applicable apostille or authentication process.
| Your Concern | How We Address It |
|---|---|
| I do not know which document I need or where to begin. | Before you engage our services, we review the practical requirements you provide from the receiving institution, identify the document-preparation and certification steps involved, and confirm the proposed service path in writing. We do not provide legal advice. |
| A document was rejected before. | We compare the document against the receiving authority’s stated requirements, verify the information supplied before signature, and coordinate the applicable notarization, apostille, and translation steps. Final acceptance remains with the receiving authority. |
| I am outside Florida and cannot travel for a signature. | When legally and operationally available, we coordinate remote online notarization by secure video with electronic identity verification. You may sign from another jurisdiction while we continue the permitted administrative steps in Miami. |
| I am not comfortable with English-language forms. | Our service is bilingual. We explain the administrative process in English or Spanish, assist with forms strictly under your specific direction, and conduct the notarial appointment in a language understood by the notary and signer. |
These are our principal service lines. Each service has its own requirements and process, and several services may be coordinated within one matter when appropriate:
Oaths, acknowledgments, and authorized certifications at our Brickell, Miami office.
Sign by secure video when Florida law, platform rules, and the receiving authority permit the transaction.
Powers of attorney, affidavits, minor travel authorizations, and letters prepared from the customer’s specific factual instructions.
Hague Apostille coordination for eligible state and federal documents intended for use abroad.
Marriage-license guidance, ceremony solemnization, certified records, and international document coordination when requested.
Assistance requesting certified birth, marriage, and death records issued in the United States.
Live Scan fingerprinting and FBI background-check support, in person or through available remote processes.
Simple or certified English–Spanish translation coordinated with your document matter.
A clear, bilingual process designed to protect your personal information, whether you visit our Brickell office or complete an eligible transaction from another location.
Tell us what you need and the country or institution where the document will be presented. We review the stated requirements, confirm the proposed administrative service steps in writing, and provide a complete estimate before work begins.
Under your specific direction, we prepare or review the document against the stated requirements, assist with administrative forms, and schedule the in-person or online appointment. We do not select legal options or provide legal advice.
A Florida-commissioned Notary Public verifies identity and performs the authorized acknowledgment, oath, or copy-attestation procedure at our Brickell office or through an eligible remote online session.
If the document will be used outside the United States, we coordinate the applicable Hague Apostille or authentication process, certified translation when required, and trackable delivery.
You may prepare a document using a template, locate a notary, research the separate apostille procedure, and arrange international delivery independently. Each stage, however, has its own rules, office, supporting documents, and processing time. A general template may not match the receiving institution’s stated requirements.
The practical risk: a signed document may be returned because the wording, notarial certificate, authentication, or apostille does not meet the receiving authority’s requirements, which can result in additional time and expense.
One bilingual team coordinates the permitted administrative chain: review of the receiving authority’s stated requirements, document preparation under your direction, a notarial act under Chapter 117, apostille or authentication coordination, certified translation when requested, and trackable international shipping.
The result: you work with one service contact, receive a written estimate before work begins, and obtain a document package prepared for submission. Final review and acceptance always remain with the receiving institution.
Our written estimate separates applicable government or statutory charges from our professional fees for document preparation, coordination, and logistics. Florida law establishes maximum fees for certain notarial acts, while apostilles, certified records, federal authentication, and consular procedures may involve separate government charges. Because official charges can change and each matter has different requirements, the applicable breakdown is provided in writing before payment.
| Charge Category | Service or Fee Description |
|---|---|
| Notarial-act fee | The fee for each authorized oath, acknowledgment, or certification, whether performed in person or online, subject to applicable Florida law. |
| Document-preparation service fee | Preparation of powers of attorney, affidavits, travel authorizations, and letters from the customer’s specific factual instructions and the receiving institution’s stated requirements. |
| Apostille or authentication charges | Government charges imposed by the Florida Department of State, the U.S. Department of State, or a consulate, depending on the document and destination country. |
| Vital-record charges | Official state or county charges for issuing certified copies of birth, marriage, or death records. |
| Certified translation (optional) | Translation into the language requested by the receiving institution, coordinated within the same matter. |
| Logistics and international shipping | Trackable shipment of the completed file by FedEx, UPS, DHL, or another carrier, calculated according to destination and service level. |
A notarization performed in Florida certifies the authorized notarial act; it does not validate the document’s contents or guarantee acceptance in the United States or abroad. When a document will be used in another country, an international legalization step may be required. For countries participating in the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, the competent authority may issue an apostille. Florida public documents generally follow the state process, while eligible federal documents follow the U.S. Department of State process. For a non-Convention destination, a state, federal, and consular authentication chain may apply. The receiving authority — such as a registry, bank, consulate, or court — establishes the final requirements and determines acceptance. We therefore review the instructions supplied by that authority before work begins and coordinate the document, notarial certificate, apostille or authentication, and certified translation steps that apply to the stated destination.

They are official acts performed by a Notary Public commissioned by a state. Under Florida law, authorized acts include administering oaths, taking acknowledgments, attesting to photocopies of certain documents, and solemnizing marriages. The notary certifies the authorized act but does not validate the document’s contents or provide legal advice.
No. In many civil-law countries, a notarial professional is a lawyer with authority to draft public instruments and provide legal advice. A Florida Notary Public is not acting as an attorney and does not draft public instruments or advise on legal rights. The Florida role is limited to the notarial acts authorized by state law.
Common examples include powers of attorney for use abroad, affidavits, minor travel authorizations, invitation letters, private agreements, life-status affidavits, and photocopy attestations when permitted by Florida law. The appropriate notarial certificate and the receiving institution’s requirements must be confirmed for each matter.
Possibly. Florida law authorizes remote online notarization using approved technology and identity-verification procedures. Eligibility depends on the signer, document, platform, and transaction, and the receiving authority may impose separate acceptance requirements. We confirm the practical requirements before scheduling.
The signer must present current identification acceptable under Florida law, such as an eligible passport or driver license. Remote online notarization also requires the identity-verification procedures prescribed by Florida law and the selected platform. We confirm the documentation required for the proposed appointment in advance.
It may be, but notarization alone does not guarantee international acceptance. A Hague Apostille or a state, federal, and consular authentication chain may be required, depending on the document and destination. The receiving authority determines the final requirements and acceptance.
Yes. The initial administrative review, explanation of the service process, forms, and notarial appointment can be handled in English or Spanish, provided the notary and signer can communicate directly and all transaction requirements are met.
We provide nonlawyer document-preparation services based strictly on the customer’s specific instructions and factual information. We do not choose legal provisions, explain legal rights, or provide legal advice. If the matter requires legal judgment, you should consult an attorney licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction before signing.
Cost may include the fee for the notarial act, government charges for apostilles or certified records, and separate service fees for document preparation, coordination, translation, or shipping. We provide a written estimate that identifies the applicable components before work begins.
A single notarial act may often be completed in one scheduled appointment, depending on availability and eligibility. Additional processing time varies for state or federal apostilles, consular authentication, certified records, translation, and shipping. The estimated schedule is provided after the complete service path is identified.
Yes. Florida notaries may not attest to copies when the law requires a certified copy from the official custodian of the public record. A notary also cannot complete an act when the document is incomplete, the signer does not personally appear as required, identity cannot be established, or another legal condition for the act is not satisfied.
