Book Your Appointment
Florida-Commissioned. Available Worldwide.
Many people don't realize that a Florida remote online notarization legally takes place where the notary sits, here in Florida. Your location does not change that.
We are commissioned in Florida, and we verify identity on our end. For signers with a U.S. Social Security number, we use knowledge-based authentication: a short set of questions drawn from public records. For signers without one, Florida lets us use biometric face-match verification.
So whether you're across town in Fort Lauderdale or across the world, all you need is a valid photo ID and a device with a camera. We handle the rest.
Signing from outside the U.S.? We work with clients abroad often. When a document also needs to be recognized in another country, we coordinate the apostille for you.
Documents for Use Overseas? We Handle Apostilles, Too.
A notarized document is not always enough for another country to accept it. Many countries require an apostille, an official certification that authenticates the document for international use. Most large notary platforms will not take this step on.
Palm & Seal™ does. We coordinate apostille service alongside your notarization, so your documents arrive ready for the country receiving them. Our facilitation covers documents from all 50 states and federal agencies.
Acceptance depends on the destination country's rules. When the destination belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille applies. For countries outside it, we guide you through full legalization with that country's consulate. Tell us where your document is headed, and we will walk you through what it needs.
What We Notarize
We serve individuals and the professionals who rely on accurate, on-time notarization: attorneys, title companies, lenders, and businesses.
- Real estate & lending: closings, loan-signing packages, deeds, and refinances.
- Estate planning & family: wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and affidavits.
- Business & financial: corporate resolutions, agreements, financial forms, and authorizations.
- International & immigration: documents headed overseas, with apostille coordination for signers located across multiple states or countries.
- Auto & everyday: vehicle title transfers, parental consent forms, single-signature notarizations, and similar paperwork.
Need more than one signer or a witness? We handle both. Signers can join the same session from different cities or different countries, and we can provide a remote witness when your document calls for one. For urgent and after-hours work, our scheduling stays flexible, with windows that include weekends and holidays, and a few hours of notice is all we ask.
Not sure if your document qualifies? Send it to us. We will review it and tell you.
Note on the legal lane: We notarize documents your attorney has already drafted. We do not draft or advise on legal documents. When your document is ready, we handle the notarization.
How It Works
1. Reach out or book. Schedule online, or email your documents, and we'll guide you from there.
2. Verify your identity. We confirm who you are on a quick video step, using knowledge-based questions or biometric face-match.
3. Sign with your notary. Your Florida-commissioned notary meets you live on video and walks you through each step.
4. Receive your documents. We deliver your notarized documents digitally, ready to download and share. Most sessions run under 15 minutes.
You are never rushed or left guessing. We manage a precise process with calm, clear guidance, and we offer flexible windows that include weekends and holidays. A few hours of notice is all we ask.
What You'll Need, and What You'll Receive
Before your session, have these ready:
- A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID.
- A device with a camera and a stable internet connection.
- Your document as a PDF, or emailed to us ahead of time.
- A few quiet minutes in a private space.
We verify your identity live during the session. Signers with a U.S. Social Security number answer a short set of knowledge-based questions drawn from public records. If you don't have one, including many of our international clients, you verify through biometric face-match instead. Either way, the step takes only a few minutes.
When the notarization is done, you receive a digitally notarized PDF, ready to download and share. Remote online notarization is electronic, so there is no wet-ink paper original to mail or pick up. Every session runs on a state-approved platform and is recorded in line with Florida Statute §117.245, and most sessions finish in under 15 minutes.

Case study: A Five-Signer Signing Across Two Countries
Situation: Five signers needed to execute the same documents while located in two U.S. states, Florida and South Carolina, plus Spain.
What we did: We set up secure remote online notarization for all five signers and verified each person's identity. The signing was managed across every location so no one had to travel.
Result: All five signers completed their notarizations remotely, and the documents were delivered digitally. As the client put it, she "took care of it with ease."

Add-ons, $25 each:

Biometric identity verification, per signer. This is the verification path for signers without a U.S. Social Security number, including many of our international clients, and it is added to any session or package.

Volume orders and B2B accounts: quoted individually.
FAQ
Can I use this if I'm outside the U.S.?
Yes, you can. A Florida remote online notarization legally takes place in Florida, where your notary sits, so your own location does not limit you. You need a valid government photo ID and a device with a camera. If your document also has to be recognized by another country, we can coordinate the apostille.
How much does online notarization cost?
Online notarization is $55 for one signer and one document. We itemize it as a $25 notarial act fee, the Florida §117.275 cap, plus a $30 platform and administrative fee. Most add-ons are $25 each: an additional notarization, a remote witness, or biometric verification for a signer without a U.S. Social Security number. Real estate and estate-planning signings are flat-rate packages, starting at $125, and apostille work is quoted per document.
What do I need for my session?
A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID and a device with a camera and internet. We verify your identity during the session, either with knowledge-based questions for signers with a U.S. Social Security number, or biometric face-match for signers without one.
What if I'm not a U.S. citizen?
You can still notarize with us. Florida lets signers without a U.S. Social Security number verify through biometric face-match, which compares a photo of your government ID to a live scan of your face. You will need a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID and a device with a camera. We work with international signers regularly.
What will I receive?
A digitally notarized document, delivered as a PDF you can download and share right after the session. Remote online notarization is electronic, so there is no wet-ink paper original.
How is online notarization different from meeting a notary in person?
It is the same legal act, now completed over secure video. You verify your identity and sign while your Florida-commissioned notary watches live, then receive a digital document with an electronic seal. If you would rather meet face to face in our area, we also offer in-person mobile notary service in Fort Lauderdale.
Do you handle apostilles?
Yes. We facilitate apostilles for documents from all 50 states and federal agencies. When your destination country belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille applies. For countries outside it, we guide you through full legalization with that country's consulate.
Can you provide witnesses, or handle multiple signers?
Yes. We can provide a remote witness for $25 per witness, and we can accommodate up to 10 signers. Signers can join the same session from different locations, even different countries. Tell us what your document requires, and we'll set the session up correctly.
How long does a session take?
Most sessions run under 15 minutes. Larger packages take a little longer, and we'll tell you what to expect before we begin.
Is online notarization legal?
Yes. Florida authorizes remote online notarization under Florida Statute §117.245. We run every session on a state-approved platform and keep the required recording.
Can you draft my legal document or tell me what to sign?
No, and that boundary protects you. Palm & Seal is a notary service and not a law firm, so we do not draft legal documents or give legal advice. Your attorney prepares the document, and once it is ready, we handle the notarization.
