Can you notarize an investigator affidavit or FDACS form online?
Yes, when the page you will sign prints a notarial section. Send the unsigned form so the revision can be identified.
Online notarization for private investigators and investigation agencies
Send the unsigned affidavit or FDACS form. We identify the form number and revision and notarize the notarial section that is printed on that page.
Documents investigators commonly handle
FDACS decides whether the application is complete. A form number alone does not prove that every revision has a notary certificate. Start with which FDACS forms include a notarial section.
| Document | Who signs |
|---|---|
| Affidavit that prints a jurat or acknowledgment | The person named on that certificate. See affidavit of service, proof of service, and return of service only when the document is not an FDACS form. |
| FDACS-16023 Affidavit of Experience | The applicant. Check the revision on FDACS-16023 Affidavit of Experience. |
| FDACS-16009 Personal Inquiry Waiver, standalone | The person named on that waiver's notarial section. See FDACS-16009 vs application waiver sections. |
| FDACS-16016 Private Investigator Intern Completion | The sponsor. See FDACS-16016 and 16017. |
| FDACS-16026 Private Investigator Intern Sponsor | The sponsor. Confirm which version the agency requires on FDACS-16026 and 16027. |

The agency can coordinate for investigators and sponsors
An agency owner or operations contact can submit the request. On FDACS-16023 the applicant signs. On FDACS-16016 and FDACS-16026 the sponsor signs. The named person appears on camera.
Traveling and international signers
An investigator or sponsor can be traveling or outside the United States when the commissioning state's rules allow the appearance. Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state.
Session cost
One signer and one notarization is $25 domestically. An international session commonly starts at $50. The full table is on professional affidavit services. FDACS filing fees printed on a form are FDACS fees, not the session fee.
Repeat sessions for investigation agencies
Agencies can route each eligible form through the same request. Describe the workflow. There is no published volume discount.
