An affidavit is based upon either the personal knowledge of the affiant or his or her information and belief. Personal knowledge is the recognition of particular facts by either direct observation or experience. Information and belief is what the affiant feels he or she can state as true, although not based on firsthand knowledge.
An affidavit is a written statement of facts voluntarily made by an affiant under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law.
Florida notaries do not have the power to make certified copies. A certified copy is verified by the public official who is the custodian of the record that the document is an accurate reproduction of an original document.
One of the best places to get your legal documents and forms notarized is your local bank. Banks and other financial institutions, such as credit unions, often offer notary services in order to provide extra value to their customers. Many banks and financial institutions have their in-house notaries.
After filling out the form, print your completed form. Sign it in front of the notary or deputy clerk at the clerk's office. After the form is signed and notarized, submit the form to the clerk's office either by regular mail, in person or by scanning the signed PDF and electronically eFiling.
Your seal and certificate are tools of your public office. Even if your employer purchased your Florida notary supplies, they have no legal right to keep these tools from you, and are violating Florida law if they do. Never surrender control of your Florida notary stamp and certificate to anyone.
