Florida does not stipulate an age limit for completing a notarization for a minor, but you are required to follow the same standards you would for any other notarization. For instance, the minor must physically be present, proper identification must be presented and you must establish the minor is not being coerced into signing and understands the document. The parent cannot sign for the child.
