You must:

People with felonies may apply to become a Florida Notary under the following conditions:

• You must provide certified copies of the journal entries of the sentencing order and judgment from the court that convicted you.
• You must submit a Restoration of Civil Rights Certificate (RCR).

2. Fill out our online form.

Get started with our easy to complete online form — you can finish in minutes. This is where you will purchase your mandatory $7,500 bond which is part of your notary package. You'll also find details on the mandatory education required by Florida. Pay online with our safe checkout page. We make it fast and convenient.
