Florida FAQ

Do I need to be in Florida to use a FL notary?

No. Florida law allows out-of-state principals when the document concerns Florida property or law (e.g., a deed for a FL home, an online will under FL Stat. 732.522). The platform asks you to confirm the FL nexus during the ceremony.

What's the knowledge-based authentication quiz?

Florida requires identity proofing beyond an ID photo. You'll answer 5 dynamic questions about your background (drawn from public records) within 2 minutes. You must get 4 of 5 correct. It's how FL law catches impersonation.

Are online wills really enforceable in Florida?

Yes. Florida Statute 732.522 enables electronic wills since 2020. The notarization must include 2 witnesses, all on video with you simultaneously. NotaryChain handles the witness flow automatically.

How long are records kept?

All audio-video recordings, journal entries, and supporting evidence are retained for 10 years — Florida's mandatory minimum. We store on tamper-proof AWS with Hedera blockchain anchoring, retrievable on subpoena.

Is NotaryChain a registered RONSP in Florida?

Yes. NotaryChain is a registered Remote Online Notarization Service Provider with the FL Department of State.
