Am I required to keep a record book?

Florida state law does not require that you keep a notary record book. However, we strongly recommend that you do so for your own protection. If a notarization you performed is called into question years later, are you going to remember the details of the transaction? Keeping a notary record book can provide evidence of what actually took place with details such as what ID was provided, the date and time, and the signature of the affiant.
