I am a Georgia notary and I have a friend living in Florida who needs a POA for the parents she lives with. Am I allowed to notarize her documents or does Florida require only Florida notarization for this?
Does Georgia allow RON yet?
no we don’t 
but distance isn’t an issue for this situation. She’s in Jacksonville and I am close to that. I just want to know if Florida is picky about that with their particular notary laws for this document to remain legal with Georgia notarization.
Have her cross the state line.
She will not move from Florida to Georgia. So I just need to know if Florida will allow a Georgia notary to notarize her POA on Florida documents. That’s the issue here, not the distance between us for doing the notarizing.
@johnsonps306 didn’t suggest your friend move but rather she go over the line into GA for you to notarize. Unless you are also commissioned here in FL you cannot come into FL and notarize as a GA notary.
Now, that said, we moved here from CT and we were told our CT documents were fine here. We just decided to update our docs once we established residency here.
If you have a personal attorney, why not contact him and throw a quick question at him. Honestly, I think they’ll be fine…as long as they go to you in GA.
Hope this helps.
If it’s in Georgia you can notarize forms from other states. I do it all the time.
Unless Florida specifically says you can’t. I’m not from FL or GA. But have had folks from Oregon come to WA to get things notarized which is certainly allowed. When all else fails contact the state commissioner. I notarize documents from other states often and notarize property sales and purchases from other states. So I don’t think you understood what I meant.
