I will be moving to another state in a few months. May I transfer my Florida notary commission to that state? No.
For example, a Notary commissioned in California or Florida may perform notarizations anywhere within the commissioning state's borders, but may not perform a notarization in another state such as Georgia.
The short answer is yes, notary publics are legally allowed to notarize documents from any state as long the notarial act is conducted within the geographical boundaries of the notary's state of commission.
As long as a few basic requirements are met, the answer is absolutely yes. When it comes to notarization a document's origins are less important than ensuring the actual notarization process is carried out within the full guidelines of local state law.
Additionally, 1N-7001, Florida Administrative Code outlines the duties and responsibilities of online notaries as well as the procedures for applying. This law authorizes Florida notaries to perform online remote notarizations after the completion of an application and training requirements.
Your jurisdiction as a Florida notary only extends to Florida. That being said, you can perform a notarization in Florida and it would be valid in any other state or foreign country, so long as you followed Florida law at the time of the notarization.
