Florida Notary Services, By Appointment
Kate Spilsbury is a commissioned Florida notary public. If you need a signature notarized in the Jacksonville area, on insurance paperwork or anything else, book a time and bring your ID. It's usually a ten-minute stop.
Services available
Common notarial acts, handled by appointment. Many clients pair a notarization with an insurance or Medicare review visit, but anyone in the area is welcome.
Acknowledgments
You confirm you signed a document willingly, deeds, powers of attorney, titles, and similar paperwork.
Jurats & sworn statements
You sign and swear (or affirm) that a statement is true, affidavits and sworn forms.
Insurance & retirement paperwork
Beneficiary changes, rollover and distribution forms, claim affidavits, and other financial documents that require a notarized signature.
Marriage ceremonies
Florida notaries may solemnize marriage. If you have a Florida marriage license, Kate can perform the ceremony.
Service area and booking
We serve Jacksonville and Duval County, plus surrounding Northeast Florida counties, by appointment. Appointments happen at our Baymeadows office at 9428 Baymeadows Rd. STE 137, Jacksonville, FL 32256, and mobile visits nearby may be possible depending on scheduling.
To book, use the contact form or call (904) 654-5450. Tell us what kind of document you have and how many people are signing, and we'll confirm a time and the total fee up front.
Florida law caps notary fees at $10 per notarial act, and up to $30 for performing a marriage ceremony (those are the 2026 statutory limits, per Florida Statutes 117.05 and 117.045). Any travel charge for a mobile visit is separate and agreed before we book.
What to bring
- The complete, unsigned document. Sign in front of the notary, not before.
- A valid government-issued photo ID (driver license, state ID, or passport) for every signer.
- All signers present in person. Florida notarization requires the signer to appear before the notary.
- Any witnesses your document requires. Ask when you book and we'll confirm what's needed.
A notary public is not an attorney licensed to practice law and may not give legal advice, prepare legal documents, or accept fees for legal advice. If you are unsure about a document, speak with an attorney before it is notarized. Notarization confirms identity and signature, not the content or legality of a document.
Notary questions, answered
How much does a Florida notary cost?
Florida law caps the fee at $10 per notarial act (Florida Statutes 117.05), and up to $30 for performing a marriage ceremony. Travel for a mobile appointment may carry a separate, agreed-in-advance charge. For 2026, those statutory caps are current, and we'll always quote the total before you book.
What ID do I need to bring?
A current government-issued photo ID for each person signing, a driver license, state ID card, or passport all work. If the notary knows a signer personally, ID may not be required, but bringing it is the safe default.
Can you notarize a document that is already signed?
No. The signer must sign, or acknowledge the signature, in front of the notary. Bring the document complete but unsigned, and we'll handle the signing during the appointment.
Can a notary tell me what my document means or help me fill it out?
No. A notary is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, prepare legal documents, or advise you on what to sign. If you have questions about the document itself, talk with the attorney, agency, or company that issued it first, then book the notarization.
By appointment at the Baymeadows office
Notary appointments happen at the same Jacksonville office where Kate meets insurance clients. Bring your unsigned document and photo ID, and plan a few extra minutes if you have coverage questions while you're here.
Need something notarized?
