WHAT IS AN APOSTILLE?

2. What is an apostille?
The 1961 Hague Convention established the apostille as a form of authentication for its member states.
An apostille is authentication of a public document in a foreign country. A public document is a document issued by an elected or appointed public official or has been notarized. For example, a marriage license, death certificate, school transcript, diploma, vehicle title, adoption records, criminal background checks, court documents, etc.
The apostille certifies the authenticity of the issuing official or notary public’s signature.
Each state designates a Competent Authority who issues an apostille for a public document.
The Florida Secretary of State is the Competent Authority in Florida.
Only the Competent Authority can issue an apostille.
Apostilles for the State of Florida are only issued at 2415 N. Monroe Street, Suite 810 Tallahassee, FL 32303 by the Division of Corporations.

WHAT IS A REMOTE NOTARY?

With remote notarization, a signer personally appears before the Notary at the time of the notarization using audio-visual technology over the internet instead of being physically present in the same room. Remote online notarization is also called we**am notarization, online notarization or virtual notarization.

IS REMOTE NOTARIZITION THE SAME AS E - NOTARY?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

Many people confuse electronic notarization with remote notarization, believing they are the same. They are not.

Electronic notarization, or eNotarization, involves documents that are notarized in electronic form, and the Notary and document signer sign with an electronic signature. But all other elements of a traditional, paper notarization apply to electronic notarization, including the requirement for the signer to physically appear before the Notary.

The confusion arises from the fact that We**am notarizations typically involve digital documents that are signed and notarized electronically. However they go a step further in that the transaction is conducted online rather than in person.
