What to Bring to a Florida Notary Appointment (So You Don’t Get Sent Back to Your Car)

Essentials for a Florida notary appointment: Remember to bring your important documents and a valid ID.

Alright, y’all — let’s talk about what to bring when you’re heading to your Florida notary appointment. Because nothing’s worse than showing up all confident, only to realize you left the most important thing sitting on your kitchen counter next to your coffee cup. (We’ve all been there.)

At The Signature Squad Notary Services, we love our clients — but we also love smooth, stress-free signings. So let’s make sure your appointment is quick, easy, and full of smiles (not sighs).

1. Bring that Valid Photo ID — Not the one from 1998

We need to know you’re really you. Florida law requires a valid, government-issued photo ID. That means your driver’s license, passport, military ID, or state ID. Not your work badge. Not your gym membership. And definitely not your “cute” high school ID with the baby face. If it’s expired, it’s a no-go — so double-check that date before you roll up.

2. Bring the Document (Yes, the Actual One)

You’d be surprised how many folks show up without the paper we’re supposed to notarize. Don’t laugh — it happens a lot. Whether it’s a deed, power of attorney, or school form, make sure it’s complete but unsigned (we handle the witnessing part live). No crumpled-up versions from the glove compartment, please — we’re going for classy, not chaotic.

3. Bring All the Signers

If two people need to sign, both people need to be there — not “on the way,” “running late,” or “just outside in the car.” The notary can’t notarize half a dream! We need everyone present with IDs, ready to roll.

4. Bring Your Payment (and a Smile)

We accept cash, card, or mobile payment — because we’re modern like that. 😉 But remember, mobile notaries travel for you, so confirm your total ahead of time. A little preparation keeps the transaction smooth and professional.

5. Bring a Little Patience (Florida Weather is Real)

Between the heat, the humidity, and that random afternoon thunderstorm, Florida has a way of testing our calm. Whether we’re meeting in person or online, stay cool, keep your sense of humor, and we’ll make sure your documents are sealed and delivered with a touch of Signature Squad style — professional, reliable, and rooted in community.

At the end of the day, notarizing doesn’t have to be stressful — it’s just about being ready. So grab your ID, your documents, and your best energy, and let’s handle business like pros.
