Notary in Miami, Florida
Remote Online Notarization (RON) reaches any signer in Florida, including everyone in Miami. For documents that need a live signer in front of me, I travel in person across Miami-Dade County and the rest of South Florida.
Yes — EMC notarizes documents for Miami 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 Miami and the rest of Miami-Dade County when a document legally requires a signer physically present, such as a vehicle VIN verification.
Notary service around Miami
Miami sits in Miami-Dade County, near Brickell, downtown Miami and the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, Wynwood, and Little Havana. Most sessions are either a RON video appointment or an in-person visit to a home, office, hospital room, or title company.
Miami: international document work and Miami-Dade's own recording rate
Miami is the only one of these seven cities in Miami-Dade County, which sets its own effective deed documentary-stamp rate ($0.60 per $100, versus $0.70 in Broward and Palm Beach County) plus a local surtax on transfers other than single-family residences — a real cost difference from the other six cities' recording math, not just a different address.
International document work — apostille batches, foreign-consulate filings, and Spanish-language sessions — comes up far more often here than in the other six cities, alongside the same real estate and estate-planning signings, centered around Brickell, downtown Miami, and Little Havana.
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 Miami or Miami-Dade 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 Miami
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 Miami appointments, and trips to neighboring Fort Lauderdale 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 Miami
Notarizing a document and recording it with the county are two separate steps. If your Miami signing (a deed, POA affecting real property, or Declaration of Domicile) needs to be recorded, the filing goes to the Office of the County Recorder, Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts, at 20 NW 1st Avenue, Suite 5.246, Miami, FL 33128. 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. Certified copies of a recorded document run $1.00 per page plus a $2.00 certification fee.

Frequently asked questions
Does EMC handle apostille and international document work in Miami?
Yes, more so than in the other six cities — international document work (apostille batches, foreign-consulate filings, Spanish-language sessions) is a regular share of my bookings here, alongside standard real estate and estate-planning signings.
Is recording a deed in Miami more expensive than in Broward or Palm Beach County?
The recording fee itself is the same statewide $10.00 first page / $8.50 additional page. But Miami-Dade's effective deed documentary-stamp rate is $0.60 per $100 of consideration (versus $0.70 in Broward and Palm Beach County), plus a $0.45-per-$100 county surtax on transfers other than single-family residences — a real difference from the other six cities' math.
Where does a Miami filing get recorded?
The Office of the County Recorder, Miami-Dade Clerk of Courts, 20 NW 1st Avenue, Suite 5.246, Miami, FL 33128. Certified copies run $1.00 per page plus a $2.00 certification fee.
