Meet Your Notary
I'm Stephanie Limardo, the founder of Palm & Seal and the notary you'll actually meet on your call.

I'm based in Fort Lauderdale, and through remote online notarization I work with clients across Florida and around the world. In-person service in Broward County is available by arrangement.

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: 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 the same day.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
You see the full price on your invoice before your session, after we have reviewed your documents.
Online notarization: $75. Each session covers one signer and one document with a single notarial act, at the same rate whether you are signing from inside or outside the United States. The $75 is made up of a $25 notarial act fee, the maximum Florida allows per act, and a $50 session management fee. The session management fee covers everything around the notarization itself, including platform access, document review, file formatting, participant coordination, and hosting your session from start to finish. Larger packages and multi-document files are quoted after review.
What Counts as a Notarial Act
A notarial act is one notarial certificate on your document, most often an acknowledgment or a jurat. The fee is set per certificate, so a document with two certificates counts as two notarial acts at $25 each. We confirm the count during document review, before your invoice is issued.
Add to any session
$25. Each additional notarization in the same session.
$35. Each additional signer, covering the platform and verification costs of adding another participant. It does not include a notarial act.
$35. Each remote witness provided by us.
$80. For a Certified Foreign Language Interpreter, per session.
$50. Same-day booking, inside 24 hours.
Family Law
Each family law package includes two signers and two witnesses provided by Palm & Seal, so both parties can complete the signing in the same session. Additional signers are $35 each.
Marital or Divorce Settlement: $150+
Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement: $150+
Real Estate Signing Packages
Each real estate package covers one signer and includes two witnesses provided by Palm & Seal, along with the platform fees your signing requires. Additional signers are $35 each.
Single Instrument (Deed only): $125+
Sellers: $175+
HELOC: $175+
Buyers (Cash): $200+
Buyers (Loan): $250+
Refinance: $250+
Reverse Mortgage: $350+
Estate Planning & Legal Document Signings
These signings run on a platform with identity verification and deepfake analysis built in. Each estate planning package covers one signer and includes two witnesses provided by Palm & Seal, so you never need to find your own. Additional signers are $35 each.
Power of Attorney: $125+
Wills: $150+
Trusts: $150+
Full Estate Plan: $250+
Full Estate Plan (2 signers): $375+
Notarial act fees in every package are $25 per act. The balance of each package covers witness fees, session management, and additional signer fees where they apply.
Payment and Invoicing
Your invoice arrives after we review your documents, so the price you see reflects exactly what your signing requires. Invoices come through QuickBooks, and payment is due at least two hours before your session. Sessions that are still unpaid at that point are cancelled and the time is released.
Certified Translation
Certified translation is $65 per page, with no minimum. When a document is headed overseas, we can coordinate the translation alongside your notarization or apostille so everything is ready together.
Accepted Across the United States
A remote online notarization performed by a Florida-commissioned notary is recognized across the United States. The office or company receiving your document decides whether it accepts an electronic notarization, so we recommend confirming with them before your session.

Florida-Commissioned. Available Worldwide.
A Florida remote online notarization legally takes place where the notary sits, here in Florida. Your own location does not change that, which is why clients sign with us from Broward County and from the other side of the world on the same afternoon.
We verify identity during your session. Signers with a U.S. Social Security number answer a short set of questions drawn from public records. Signers who are not U.S. citizens, or who cannot complete those questions, verify through biometric face-match, which compares your ID against a live scan of your face. There is no additional charge for that path.
All you need is a valid photo ID and a device with a camera.
When a document also has to be recognized by another country, we coordinate the apostille alongside the notarization.
Documents for Use Overseas
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.
Palm & Seal™ coordinates apostille service alongside your notarization, so your documents arrive ready for the country receiving them. Facilitation covers documents from all 50 states and federal agencies.
Acceptance depends on the destination. When the receiving 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. Tell us where your document is headed and we will walk you through what it needs.
What We Notarize
We work with individuals and with the professionals who depend on accurate, on-time notarization: attorneys, title companies, lenders, real estate professionals, and businesses.
Real estate and lending. Closings, loan-signing packages, deeds, and refinances.
Estate planning and family. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and affidavits.
Business and financial. Corporate resolutions, agreements, financial forms, and authorizations.
International and immigration. Documents headed overseas, with apostille coordination for signers located across multiple states or countries.
Auto and everyday. Vehicle title transfers, parental consent forms, single-signature notarizations, and similar paperwork.
Multiple signers and witnesses are both handled here. Signers can join the same session from different cities or different countries, and we provide a remote witness when your document calls for one. Online booking opens 24 hours out. If you need a session sooner, call or email us and we will do our best to fit you in.
If you are not sure whether your document qualifies, send it over and we will review it and tell you.
A note on scope: We do not give legal advice. When your attorney has drafted your document, we handle the notarization.
How It Works
Book and upload. Schedule online at least 24 hours ahead and upload your documents, or send them over and we will guide you from there.
Document review and invoice. We review your documents, confirm what your signing requires, and send your invoice. Payment is due at least two hours before we meet.
Verify your identity. A quick video step confirms who you are, using knowledge-based questions or biometric face-match.
Sign with your notary. We meet you live on video and walk you through each step.
Receive your documents. Your notarized documents arrive digitally, ready to download and share. Most sessions run under 15 minutes.
We stay with you from booking through delivery and explain each step before we take it.
What You'll Need, and What You'll Receive
Before your session, have these ready:
An unexpired government-issued photo ID. Signers who are not U.S. citizens need a valid passport.
A device with a camera and a stable internet connection.
Your documents uploaded ahead of time, and left unsigned.
A few quiet minutes in a private space.
Identity verification happens live during the session. Signers with a U.S. Social Security number answer a short set of knowledge-based questions drawn from public records. Signers who are not U.S. citizens, or who cannot complete those questions, verify through biometric face-match instead.
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 most finish in under 15 minutes.
Ready When You Are
Book your session, or send your documents over for review and we will guide you from there. You can also reach us at (954) 909-6833 or hello@palmandseal.com. We serve clients across Florida and around the world.
FAQ
Can I use this if I'm outside the U.S.?
Yes. 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. Sessions are the same $75 rate wherever you are signing from. If your document also has to be recognized by another country, we can coordinate the apostille.
How much does online notarization cost?
A $75 session covers one signer and one document with a single notarial act. That is a $25 notarial act fee, the maximum Florida allows per act, plus a $50 session management fee for platform access and document review. Each additional act is $25. Additional signers are $35 each to cover the platform and verification costs of another participant, and witnesses provided by Palm & Seal are $35 each. Estate planning and real estate packages start at $125, and family law signings start at $150. Apostille coordination starts at $195 with government filing fees included.
What do I need for my session?
An 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 or with biometric face-match.
What if I'm not a U.S. citizen?
You can still notarize with us. Signers who are not U.S. citizens verify through biometric face-match, which compares your passport against a live scan of your face. You will need a valid passport and a device with a camera. There is no additional charge for this, and 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, 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. In-person service in Broward County is available by arrangement.
Do you handle apostilles?
Yes. We facilitate apostilles for documents from all 50 states and federal agencies, with state filing tiers starting at $195 and federal apostilles starting at $350. 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. A witness provided by Palm & Seal is $35, or $70 for two. Additional signers are $35 each, which covers the platform and verification costs of adding another participant. Signers can join the same session from different locations, even different countries. Tell us what your document requires and we will set the session up correctly.
How much notice do you need?
Online booking needs at least 24 hours. If you need a session sooner, call or email us. Sessions inside 24 hours carry a $50 same-day booking fee, subject to availability.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
Rescheduling with more than four hours' notice is free, and $35 inside four hours. Cancelling with more than four hours' notice is refunded, less at least $35 of the session management fee to cover platform costs and the document review already completed. Inside four hours, only notarial act fees are refunded. Witness and interpreter fees are not.
How long does a session take?
Most sessions run under 15 minutes, and we book 30 so there is room for ID verification or any technical issues. Larger packages take a little longer, and we will tell you what to expect before we begin.
Is online notarization legal?
Yes. Florida law authorizes remote online notarization, and every session runs on a state-approved platform with the required records retained.
Can you give legal advice or tell me what to sign?
We do not give legal advice or tell you which documents to sign. If your attorney has drafted your document, we handle the notarization once it is ready.
