How online POA notarization works

1. Book a session and upload your completed, unsigned power of attorney.

2. At the appointment time, you join a secure video call. The notary verifies your ID on camera.

3. You sign electronically while the notary and your witnesses watch live.

4. The notary seals the document and you receive the completed, notarized POA.

Most sessions take under thirty minutes. Appointments run Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern.

Witnesses join the video call

Florida powers of attorney are signed in front of two witnesses and a notary. In an online session, your witnesses do not have to be in the room with you. Florida law (F.S. 117.285) allows them to join the video call remotely, as long as each witness is a resident of and physically located within the United States or a U.S. territory (F.S. 117.285(4)). You provide your own witnesses, and choosing them carefully matters: the person named as your agent in the document cannot serve as a witness, and witnesses who are not relatives or otherwise named in the document avoid questions about the signing later. A neighbor, a coworker, or a friend works well.

Online witnessing and vulnerable adults

Florida's online notarization law (F.S. 117.201-117.305) adds a safeguard to five kinds of documents: a will, a trust with testamentary aspects, a health care advance directive, a waiver of spousal rights, and a power of attorney that authorizes any of those. For these documents, if the signer is a vulnerable adult as Florida defines it, remote witnessing is not permitted. That rule comes from the statute, not from any one company: no online notary, on any platform, can complete that signing with witnesses on video. The witnesses must be physically present with the signer. A vulnerable adult is a person 18 or older whose ability to perform the activities of daily living, or to provide for his or her own care or protection, is impaired by disability, brain injury, or the infirmities of aging. Activities of daily living are everyday self-care tasks such as walking, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, and using the toilet. The notary asks a short set of required questions at the start of every online session to confirm remote witnessing is available. When it is not, TMF Notary completes the signing as a mobile appointment in the South Florida service area, with witnesses present in person.

FAQ

Is an online power of attorney notarization legal? Notarizations performed online under Florida law carry the same legal weight as in-person notarizations. If the POA will be used with a specific bank or institution, confirm with them that they accept remotely notarized documents.

Do my witnesses have to be with me? No. Under F.S. 117.285, witnesses can join the video session from a different location, as long as each is a resident of and physically located within the United States or a U.S. territory.

Do you prepare the power of attorney document? No. TMF Notary notarizes documents prepared by you or your attorney. Notaries cannot draft documents or give legal advice.
