FAQ

What is a signature by mark? A signature by mark is an alternative to writing a full signature. The signer instead makes a mark (such as an “X”) or other symbols on the document. Under the laws of many states, a mark is considered a signature and is treated as such.

Are there restrictions on the way an instrument is signed? A notary must sign the notarial certificate using the same name that is listed on the commission issued by the secretary of state. However, as long as the name matches, the signature of the notary may be printed, written, typed, stamped, etc.

No. If the signer is not personally known by the Notary Public or identified by a credible witness, the Notary Public must use an identification card issued by a governmental agency or a passport issued by the United States to identify the signer.

In Florida, notarization requires a signer's presence unless specific statutory exceptions apply.
