Uncontested Divorce Forms Notary in Jacksonville and Online

Filing for a simplified (uncontested) divorce in Florida? Some of the official court forms must be signed in front of a notary or a deputy clerk. I notarize them at your home or office in Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau Counties, or online.

Which Forms Need a Notary

• Marital Settlement Agreement, Form 12.902(f)(3): the instructions say both spouses must sign it and have their signatures witnessed by a notary public or deputy clerk.
• Affidavit of Corroborating Witness, Form 12.902(i): one way to prove that you or your spouse has lived in Florida for more than 6 months. It is signed by a person who knows that, in front of the clerk or a notary public.
• The Joint Petition for Simplified Dissolution of Marriage, Form 12.901(a) must be signed by both spouses and filed with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where you live.

What the Official Instructions Say About Eligibility

According to the Form 12.901(a) instructions, you or your spouse must have lived in Florida for at least 6 months, and all of these must be true: you both agree the marriage cannot be saved; you have no minor or dependent children together and the wife is not pregnant; you have agreed on how to divide what you own and owe; neither of you is seeking alimony; you are both willing to give up your right to trial and appeal; you have both signed the petition; and you will both attend the final hearing together. If not, the instructions say the regular petition is used instead. Whether the simplified process fits your situation is a legal question; please ask an attorney or your county clerk's family court self-help center. I can't advise you on it.

Before Your Appointment

• Download the forms from Florida Courts and fill them in completely, but leave the signature lines blank until you are in front of me.
• Each signer needs a current, government-issued photo ID.
• If both spouses are signing, you can sign at the same appointment or separately.
• Filing on paper? Ask your clerk's office whether they accept a printed copy of an online notarization; if not, choose an in-person appointment.

Fees

In person: Florida limits the notary fee to $10 per notarial act, and travel is quoted separately. Online: $25 for the first notarial act and $5 for each additional act in the same session.

Important

I'm a notary public, not an attorney. I can't fill out your forms, tell you which forms to use, or give legal advice. For help, contact an attorney or your county clerk's family court self-help resources.
