📌 No Legal Advice

Notary Notebook is a professional notary service. As a commissioned Florida Notary Public, I am not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice, explain or interpret documents, or determine which type of notarization you need. Please consult an attorney for legal guidance.

📌 Unsigned Documents Only

All documents must be complete and unsigned before the appointment begins. Documents that are pre-signed or have blank spaces cannot be notarized.

  • U.S. military ID

  • Permanent resident (green) card
