Can an owner authorization form be notarized online with iRemoteNotary?
An owner authorization form may be eligible for remote online notarization when accepted by the receiving building department, permit office, county, city, municipality, contractor, title company, lender, or project stakeholder. iRemoteNotary helps property owners, contractors, permit expediters, and construction professionals notarize eligible owner authorization documents through a secure online session.
Submit your request below. In the notes section, please mention that your document is an owner authorization form and include any special instructions from your building department, permit office, county, city, municipality, contractor, owner, attorney, or project contact.
An owner-authorization letter is notarized only when that form, or the office receiving it, asks for a notarial act. It is not a power of attorney unless it is executed as one. A paper building-permit application can still have its own sworn signatures under section 713.135, and an electronic permit application may use a penalty-of-perjury statement instead.
Own Florida property and live in another state or another country? An eligible signer can complete the notarial act online without traveling to Florida. The Florida online notary performs the act under Florida law while the signer appears by live audio-video. A foreign passport may be usable for a signer outside the United States when credential analysis and identity proofing succeed. The session does not promise that every clerk or building department will accept the file, and it does not replace an appearance a local office requires in person. For a power of attorney, Florida law generally requires the principal and two witnesses. A witness who appears remotely must be a United States resident physically located in the United States or a United States territory. A witness sitting with the signer is a different case. Owners in different countries can each complete an eligible appearance. The form and the clerk decide whether one notice can carry every signature.

Owner authorization form · nationwide · iRemoteNotary
An owner authorization form is a construction, permit, or property document often used when a property owner authorizes a contractor, permit expediter, agent, or representative to apply for, manage, revise, or process a permit or project-related matter.
iRemoteNotary does not provide legal, permitting, or building department advice. Confirm the correct form and any notarization instructions with your building department, permit office, county, city, attorney, or other receiving party.
Notarization requirements can vary by state, county, city, project, permit office, contract, lender, owner, or receiving party.
An owner authorization form often focuses on the property owner giving permission to another party. A permit authorization form may focus more broadly on permit-related authority, contractor authorization, agent authorization, or permit processing instructions. Confirm which form is required by the receiving party before signing.
For permit authorization help, see our permit authorization form online notary page.
Remote online notarization allows eligible owner authorization forms to be signed and notarized during a secure audio-video session when accepted by the receiving party.
Provide the document you need notarized before the live session.

Eligible owner authorization forms may be notarized remotely when the document and receiving party allow it.
Owner authorization forms are commonly used when a property owner authorizes a contractor, expediter, or agent for permit or construction activity. Building departments, permit offices, counties, and cities set their own form titles and notarization expectations. iRemoteNotary does not prepare the form and does not submit permits.
Signers outside Florida may complete eligible sessions under the online notary's commissioning-state law when identity and document rules allow. International signers use biometrics-first identity verification; KBA is not the normal international flow. A current foreign passport may be supported on compatible workflows. Acceptance by the building department remains a separate question from lawful notarization.

Notice of Commencement documents, permit documents, owner authorization forms, contractor-change affidavits, and related construction documents can involve strict state, county, city, recording, and building department requirements. Please confirm your document requirements with your attorney, title company, lender, contractor, property owner, recorder, clerk, county, city, building department, permit office, or other appropriate professional before signing.
Acceptance of remote online notarization depends on the receiving party—we do not guarantee recording, filing, or agency acceptance.
An owner authorization form may be eligible for remote online notarization if the receiving building department, permit office, county, city, municipality, title company, lender, or agency accepts electronically notarized documents. Before signing, confirm the notarization and acceptance requirements with the receiving party.
Living abroad does not let a manager or contractor sign the owner's Notice of Commencement. The owner signs, or an authorized entity officer, director, partner, or manager signs when that is the capacity on the form. An owner-authorization letter is a different document and is notarized only when that letter asks for a notarial act.
No. Not every owner authorization form requires notarization in every situation. Requirements can vary by state, county, city, project, permit office, contract, lender, owner, or receiving party. If notarization is requested, iRemoteNotary can help notarize eligible documents online.
The required signer can depend on the document, ownership structure, permit office instructions, and receiving party rules. Common signers may include the property owner, a co-owner, or another party identified in the form. Confirm the correct signer before the session.
