What is a Notary Public?
a notary public is a constitutionally-recognized, independent officer of the State of Florida, with statewide jurisdiction. Notaries are appointed by the Governor of Florida for a four-year term. They are not "licensed professionals," but rather commissioned and sworn public officers. Notaries must post and maintain a bond to protect the public from negligence - but notaries and their employers have virtually unlimited liability. Florida empowered

A notary public is a person legally authorized by a state government to administer oaths, witness the signing of documents, and deter fraud by verifying the identity of a person who signs a document.
