Mobile 1st and 2nd Witness Services for Notarizations
When I started Mobile Notary Fort Lauderdale to Boca Raton, I made it my mission to solve the most common problem clients face: finding reliable witnesses for their important documents.

Whether it's a Power of Attorney, a Will, or Real Estate documents, our team provides reliable witness services to complete the notarization process smoothly and legally.
Why Do You Need 1st and 2nd Witnesses?
"Can a notary be a witness in Florida?" This is one of the most common questions I receive. The answer is complicated - Florida law requires that some documents, such as Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Real Estate transactions, have witnesses present during signing. Witnesses confirm that the signer was of sound mind and signed the document voluntarily. For documents like Wills, two independent witnesses are mandatory to make them legally binding .If the notary block requires the notary to write in the name of a witness or witnesses, the notary cannot serve as a witness. This is because, a Florida notary cannot notarize their own signature.
"Do notaries provide witnesses?" Not all do, but our notaries offer complete mobile witness services, making it easy to fulfill this requirement without the hassle of finding witnesses on your own. We coordinate and provide both the 1st and 2nd witnesses at the time of notarization, acting as your one-stop solution for document execution.

Frequently Asked Questions About Notary and Witness Services
Can a bank notary provide witnesses?
In my years as a professional notary, I've found that while many banks offer free notary services to their customers, they rarely provide witnesses. Bank notaries typically work alone and aren't prepared to witness documents requiring multiple signatures. They also limited the types of documents they will notarize. Even if a bank employee could theoretically serve as a witness, they generally aren't trained on proper witnessing procedures for complex legal documents like wills or trusts. Our mobile service specifically addresses this gap by bringing both professional notary services and qualified witnesses directly to you.
Which banks notarize for free?
Many national banks like Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo offer free notary services to their account holders during regular business hours. However, there are significant limitations to these services. Bank notaries typically don't provide witnesses, don't travel to your location, require appointments that may be scheduled days or weeks out, and aren't available outside bank hours. Our mobile service offers the convenience of coming to you on your schedule, including evenings and weekends, with both notary and witness services included.
Who are the best witnesses for a will?
When helping clients with their wills, I always recommend choosing witnesses who are:
Does Walgreens do notary services?
Based on my knowledge of notary services in South Florida, Walgreens locations typically do not offer notary services. UPS stores and Amscot locations offer basic notarization, but again, they don't provide witnesses and have limited hours. Our mobile service offers a complete solution by bringing both notary and witness services to your preferred location at a time that works for you, including after hours and weekends.
Does FedEx do notary?
FedEx Office locations do not offer notary services. They do offer an online notary public service. Estate documents cannot be notarized in Florida like wills, and trusts. Our mobile service is available now and eliminates hassles by bringing both the notary and required witnesses directly to you, anywhere in the Fort Lauderdale to Boca Raton area.
Can you get something notarized at the post office?
In my experience serving the South Florida area, most post office locations do not offer notary services. While some postal employees might be commissioned notaries, this is not a standard service offered by USPS. And like other public notaries, they don't provide witness services. Our mobile notary service fills this gap by bringing comprehensive notary and witness services directly to your location, making the process convenient and stress-free.
Who fills out witness signature?
This is an important procedural detail many people aren't familiar with. The witness themselves must complete their own signature and information. Witnesses typically need to sign their name, print their name legibly, and sometimes provide their address or other identifying information. They must do this in the presence of both the document signer and the notary. Our professional witnesses understand these requirements and ensure everything is properly completed, helping to prevent potential legal issues down the road.

- Likely to be available in the future if the will is ever contested

Who can witness me signing a document?
When clients ask me this question, I explain that the requirements depend on the document type. For many important legal documents in Florida, witnesses must be adults with no financial interest in the document. They need to be physically present to watch you sign, and then sign their own names certifying they observed your signature. For documents like Wills and trusts, Florida typically requires two witnesses. Our service provides properly qualified witnesses who understand these legal requirements and help ensure your documents are executed correctly.
What is the difference between a witness and a notary?
I often clarify this important distinction for my clients. As a notary public, my role is to verify your identity, ensure you're signing willingly, and officially notarize the document. A witness, on the other hand, simply observes you signing the document and attests to that fact with their own signature. Notaries must be commissioned by the state of Florida, while witnesses generally just need to meet basic qualifications like being an adult. Many legal documents in Florida require both notarization AND witnesses, which is why our combined service is so valuable. We bring both the notary and required witnesses to your location in one convenient appointment.
