Florida Notary Public

A Notary's duty is to screen the signers of important documents for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the contents of the document or transaction. A Notary may require the signer to be put under an oath, declaring under penalty of perjury that the document information is true and correct. Examples of documents that commonly require a Notary are property deeds, wills and powers of attorney. Notaries are authorized by law to attest to photocopies of certain documents, solemnize marriage, verify vehicle identification numbers (VINs), and certify the contents of a safe-deposit box.
