I prefer to pay by check. How do I submit my Florida notary application with a check for payment?
If you do not wish to complete the Florida notary application online and/or pay by credit card, you can submit your application and payment by mail. Please select the Notary Forms tab at the top of our website. Once there, select the New or Renewal Application Packet. You can then print and complete your Florida notary application and mail it, along with your check, to: Budget Notary Services, P.O. Box 5797, Tallahassee, FL 32314-5797.
My employer paid for my notary commission and/or supplies, can they keep them?
No! You are a public official appointed by the State of Florida. Your seal and certificate are tools of your public office. Even if your employer purchased your Florida notary supplies, they have no legal right to keep these tools from you, and are violating Florida law if they do. Never surrender control of your Florida notary stamp and certificate to anyone.
Can I apply over the phone?
No. You cannot apply to be a Florida notary or renew you Florida notary commission over the phone. You can apply online on our website. Click 'Become a Notary' or 'Renew Commission' to start the online notary process.
