Florida notary education online, built for Governor registration
Every first-time Florida notary applicant needs three hours of interactive or classroom instruction from a provider registered with the Executive Office of the Governor, on a core curriculum that office approves. The EOG reviews your materials and a recording of the course, then again every year. We build the interactive version on your site so the curriculum, the recording and the sworn certificate all come out of one system.

Does your current setup do this?
How the platform is built to it
Your course, on your site, under your name. Every requirement above is a feature, not a promise in the application.
Interactive lessons mapped to the nine sections
Each EOG curriculum section is its own tracked module with questions inside it, so the course is interactive instruction rather than a video to sit through, and the outline you submit is the course outline.
A three-hour clock on active time
Idle time does not count toward the three hours, and the certificate stays locked until the clock and every module are complete.
Sworn statements signed electronically
The applicant and the instructor each sign the sworn statement on the certificate, with timestamps stored on the student record, which is the two-signature requirement in the EOG specifications.
Recording export for the review
The platform renders a screen recording of the full course run, ready to send with your materials and again with any changed curriculum at the yearly review.
Anniversary reminder and version history
Your approval date is stored with the course, and the platform flags the yearly filing ahead of the anniversary and shows whether anything changed since the last approved version.

Questions schools ask
Who approves Florida notary education courses?
The Executive Office of the Governor. Under s. 668.50(11)(b), providers register with that office and use a core curriculum it approves, and its Notary Section reviews the materials and recording you submit.
Can the Florida notary course be taken online?
The statute accepts interactive or classroom instruction, and the EOG specifications speak of classroom or interactive training. An online course has to be interactive, which is how we build it.
Does the course need to cover electronic notarization?
Yes. Section 668.50(11)(b) requires it, and electronic notarization is section VIII of the EOG curriculum.
Is the remote online notary course the same course?
No. Section 117.225(2) has a registering online notary certify a separate classroom or online course on the duties, obligations and technology requirements of serving as an online notary. The platform can run both as separate courses.
What are the terms?
A flat fee per course, final payment due when the EOG approves the curriculum, no per-student fees, and you own the platform and the code. We are building one right now for a state-approved online school in Virginia, in English and Spanish, on the same terms.
