An approved notary education course is mandatory for all new notary applicants in the State of Florida

First-time notary applicants in Florida must take a required three-hour education course on notary law and procedures (§668.50(11)(b), Fla. Stat.). The applicant must submit a Certificate of Completion when sending the application forms to the bonding agency for processing.

The American Association of Notaries proudly endorses Robert T. Koehler as an instructor for notary applicants in the Tampa Bay area. Robert is a state-approved notary educator offering live one-on-one and seminar classes by appointment.
