Signer Requirements
Please be prepared with the following before your appointment:
• Your unsigned document. You will receive instructions for securely sending it in advance of your session.
• A valid government-issued ID
• A device with camera, microphone, and internet access
• The ability to complete identity verification on the online platform
For many online notarizations, the platform must successfully complete credential analysis and identity proofing before the notarization can proceed.
ID Requirements
Florida law lists the forms of identification a notary may rely on. For online notarization, the ID must also work with the secure platform’s verification process.
Commonly Accepted ID Types
• Florida driver license or Florida identification card
• U.S. passport
• Driver license or ID card from another U.S. state or territory
• Driver license or ID card issued by Canada or Mexico
• U.S. military ID
• Veteran Health Identification Card
• USCIS-issued identification card
Foreign Passports and International Signers
A foreign passport may be acceptable in certain situations under Florida law.
For principals located outside the United States, Florida law specifically allows use of a foreign passport for online notarization as provided by statute.
Other foreign national ID cards are not automatically acceptable simply because the information appears in English or Spanish.
Important ID Notice
Please do not email or text your ID unless I specifically instruct you to do so through a secure process.
Online notarizations are typically completed through a secure platform that handles identity verification, credential analysis, and the live audio-video session.
Some government IDs may have copying or reproduction restrictions. Even if an ID can be shown live for identification purposes, that does not always mean it should be emailed, photographed, or uploaded outside the proper platform workflow.
If you are unsure whether your ID will work, schedule first and I will let you know the best next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a foreign passport?
In some situations, yes. Florida law allows use of a foreign passport in certain circumstances, and for an online notarization of a principal located outside the United States, Florida law specifically allows a foreign passport as provided by statute.
Can I use a foreign national ID card if it is in English or Spanish?
Not automatically. Florida law identifies specific forms of acceptable identification, and not every foreign ID card qualifies just because the text is readable.
Can I email my ID ahead of time?
Please do not email or text your ID unless specifically instructed through a secure process. Most online notarizations use a secure platform for identity verification.
Do all IDs that are acceptable in person also work online?
Not always. For online notarization, the ID must also pass the platform’s credential analysis and identity-proofing process.
