\n

\n Florida has been at the forefront of digital notarization since January 1, 2020, when Remote Online Notarization (RON) officially became legal under the Electronic Legal Documents law (Chapter 2019-71, Laws of Florida)<\/strong>. The law, signed on June 7, 2019, is supported by the Florida Administrative Code (1N-7001)<\/strong>, which sets out the requirements, responsibilities, and application process for online notaries.\n <\/p>\n

\n If you’re ready to become a Remote Online Notary in Florida, follow this comprehensive guide to complete the registration process.\n <\/p>\n

Eligibility Requirements<\/h3>\n

1. Maintain Active Notary Status<\/h4>\n

\n You must already be one of the following:\n <\/p>\n

    \n
  • A commissioned Florida notary public<\/li>\n
  • A civil-law notary under Chapter 118<\/li>\n
  • A commissioner of deeds under Chapter 721<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n Need to confirm your current status? Use the Florida Department of State\u2019s online notary database to check your active commission.\n <\/p>\n

    2. Complete the Required Training<\/h4>\n

    \n Florida requires online notaries to complete an approved RON training course<\/strong>. Upon completion, you\u2019ll receive a certificate that must be included with your registration application.\n <\/p>\n

    How to Apply for Remote Online Notary Authorization<\/h3>\n

    Step 1: Complete the Application<\/h4>\n

    \n Fill out the Application for Registration as an Online Notary Public<\/strong>, available on the Florida Department of State website.\n <\/p>\n

    Submit your application by:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Mail:<\/strong> Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314<\/li>\n
    • In-Person\/Courier:<\/strong> 2415 North Monroe St., Suite 810, Tallahassee, FL 32303<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Registration Fee:<\/strong> $10 (payable by check to the Florida Department of State)<\/p>\n

      Step 2: Attach All Required Forms<\/h4>\n

      \n Your application must include:\n <\/p>\n

        \n
      • The RON training certificate<\/li>\n
      • The Online Notary Public Information Form<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Proof of required vendor technology (see below)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Applications missing any components will be delayed or rejected.<\/p>\n

        Step 3: Select a Qualified RON Technology Provider<\/h4>\n

        \n Before applying, Florida law requires you to have a contract with a compliant RON provider. Your chosen platform must offer:\n <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Tools for attaching electronic signatures, seals, and notarial certificates<\/li>\n
        • Identity verification and credential analysis technology<\/li>\n
        • Secure storage for audio-video recordings of notarial sessions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \n ProNotary is fully compliant with Florida\u2019s RON requirements and is proud to support Florida notaries statewide.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

          \n The Department of State does not endorse specific vendors but provides strict criteria under:\n <\/p>\n

            \n
          • Chapter 117, Florida Statutes<\/li>\n
          • Florida Administrative Code 1N-7001<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Important Regulations to Review<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Chapter 2019-71 \u2013 Electronic Legal Documents:<\/strong> Establishes the legal foundation for online notarization in Florida.<\/li>\n
            • Florida Administrative Code 1N-7001:<\/strong> Outlines the duties, responsibilities, and guidelines for Florida online notaries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Expiration, Renewal & Maintaining Compliance<\/h3>\n

              \n Your approval as a Remote Online Notary expires on the same date as your notary commission. When you renew your commission, you may also reapply for RON authorization to continue performing online notarizations.\n <\/p>\n

              Get Started with RON in Florida<\/h3>\n

              \n Becoming a Remote Online Notary opens the door to serving clients more efficiently and expanding your notary business statewide. Florida provides clear guidance and an accessible application process to help you get started.\n <\/p>\n
