Notary in Boca Raton, Florida
Remote Online Notarization (RON) reaches any signer in Florida, including everyone in Boca Raton. For documents that need a live signer in front of me, I travel in person across Palm Beach County and the rest of South Florida.
Yes — EMC notarizes documents for Boca Raton signers two ways. Remote Online Notarization (RON) is available statewide, anywhere in Florida, by live video, and is the faster option for most document types. In-person mobile notary is available for Boca Raton and the rest of Palm Beach County when a document legally requires a signer physically present, such as a vehicle VIN verification.
Notary service around Boca Raton
Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County, near Mizner Park, downtown Boca and Federal Highway, Florida Atlantic University, and the Town Center mall corridor out toward West Boca. Most sessions are either a RON video appointment or an in-person visit to a home, office, hospital room, or title company.
Boca Raton: Florida Atlantic University and international documents
Being adjacent to Florida Atlantic University brings a specific kind of booking to Boca Raton the other six cities see less of: international students and their families needing an apostille-bound Declaration of Domicile, or a power of attorney notarized before returning home for the summer. I notarize the signature and confirm the document is apostille-ready; I don't determine visa or academic sufficiency.
Real estate and estate-planning signings here run the same as anywhere else in Palm Beach County, from downtown Boca and Mizner Park out to the Town Center corridor in West Boca.
RON: available statewide, not just in South Florida
Remote Online Notarization is authorized under Florida law (F.S. Chapter 117, Part II) for any signer physically located in Florida, not only Boca Raton or Palm Beach County. If you or the other signer are traveling outside the state at signing time, tell us before booking — Florida's RON law generally requires the principal signer to be in Florida (with limited exceptions), so location can affect which option applies.
In-person mobile notary in Boca Raton
In-person appointments cover documents that need a physically present signer or witness — a vehicle VIN verification, some estate signings a family wants done in one room together, or a signer who simply prefers not to use a webcam. Travel is billed as its own itemized line, never folded into the notarization fee.
- The notarial act itself is capped at $10 per signature under Florida law (F.S. §117.05(2)), billed as its own line, separate from travel.
- Travel: First 20 miles at the standard mileage rate ($0.725/mile, the 2026 IRS business rate): a $14.50 minimum. Each additional mile beyond 20 is billed at double the standard rate ($1.45/mile). Most Boca Raton appointments, and trips to neighboring Delray Beach or Deerfield Beach, fall inside or near the 20-mile minimum; farther addresses are billed per mile beyond that on the same invoice line.
Recording a signed document from Boca Raton
Notarizing a document and recording it with the county are two separate steps. If your Boca Raton signing (a deed, POA affecting real property, or Declaration of Domicile) needs to be recorded, the filing goes to the Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Official Records division, at Main Courthouse, 205 N. Dixie Highway, Room 4.2500, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 (also South, North, West County Courthouses and Royal Palm Beach branch — some document types accepted only at Main Courthouse). Recording is a submission you, your attorney, or your title company makes directly to that office — I don't file it on your behalf as part of the notarization. Documents that include a legal description are charged a separate fee — $0.60 total for the first two legal descriptions and $0.20 for each additional one — on top of the standard first-page recording fee.

Frequently asked questions
Does EMC handle notarizations for FAU students and international families?
Yes — Boca Raton's proximity to Florida Atlantic University means a steady share of my bookings here are apostille-bound Declaration of Domicile filings or powers of attorney for international students and their families. I notarize the signature and confirm the document is apostille-ready; I don't determine visa or academic sufficiency.
What's different about recording a document from Boca Raton versus a Miami or Broward closing?
Palm Beach County (which includes Boca Raton) charges a separate legal-description fee on documents that include one — $0.60 total for the first two legal descriptions and $0.20 for each additional one — on top of the standard $10.00 first-page fee, a line item Miami-Dade and Broward don't itemize the same way.
What does a notarization cost in Boca Raton?
$10 per signature for an in-person notarial act, $25 per signature by Remote Online Notarization (F.S. §117.275). Travel for an in-person Boca Raton appointment is itemized separately: First 20 miles at the standard mileage rate ($0.725/mile, the 2026 IRS business rate): a $14.50 minimum. Each additional mile beyond 20 is billed at double the standard rate ($1.45/mile).
Does Remote Online Notarization cover Boca Raton signers who are out of town at signing time?
Only if they're physically located in Florida at signing time. Florida's RON law generally requires the principal signer to be in Florida (with limited exceptions), so tell us before booking if you or another signer will be traveling.
Which nearby cities does EMC also cover from Boca Raton?
Delray Beach (Palm Beach County) and Deerfield Beach (Broward County) are the closest. In-person mobile notary covers both counties and the rest of South Florida; RON covers any signer in Florida.
