Legal & Disclosures
Florida notary disclosures.
Required and good-faith disclosures for notarial services performed in the State of Florida.
Not an attorney; no legal advice. SoFlo Elite Notary & Business Services LLC is not a law firm. Pedro “Pete” Quintero is a notary public commissioned by the State of Florida and is not an attorney licensed to practice law in Florida. A notary public may not give legal advice, accept fees for legal advice, draft legal documents, or choose the notarial act or certificate for you.
Not a “Notario Público”
Under Florida law we do not use, and are not described by, the terms “notario” or “notario público.” In many countries a notario is a licensed attorney; a Florida notary public is not, and cannot provide legal advice or representation.
Identification & Right to Decline
A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID is required. By law we must decline any notarization where the signer cannot be properly identified, does not appear to understand the document or act willingly, is not personally present, or where the act would be improper or unlawful.
Fees
Notarial fees are governed by Chapter 117, Florida Statutes (maximum $10 per notarial act; $30 to solemnize a marriage). Travel and after-hours convenience fees are separate, agreed in advance, and are not set by the State. A full quote is provided before your appointment.
