Florida Vital Record Amendment Affidavits: DH 430 & DH 433 Online Notarization

Quick Answer
Does notarizing Florida DH 430 or DH 433 amend the vital record automatically?
No. DH 430 (edition 01/2022) is the Affidavit of Amendment to Certificate of Live Birth under FAC 64V-1.002, used with DH 429. DH 433 (edition 01/2022) is the Affidavit of Amendment to a Florida Certificate of Death under FAC 64V-1.007, used with DH 524.
Notarization completes the notarial act on the affidavit. It does not approve the amendment, issue a corrected certified copy, or replace eligibility review by the Florida Department of Health.
DH 430 & DH 433 verified editions
| Form | Verified detail |
|---|---|
| DH 430 | 01/2022 — Affidavit of Amendment to Certificate of Live Birth; FAC 64V-1.002; with DH 429 |
| DH 433 | 01/2022 — Affidavit of Amendment to a Florida Certificate of Death; FAC 64V-1.007; with DH 524 |
| DH 433 notary layout | Includes informant/next-of-kin and funeral director notary blocks on the form |
Amendment affidavits correct information on a filed Florida vital record. They are not release affidavits and they are not the certified record itself. Mixing DH 430/DH 433 with DH 1958/DH 1959 or with a notary photocopy creates avoidable rejections.
This guide covers DH 430 and DH 433 only—not DH 433A/434A as main content. For the broader vital-records map, use the Vital Records Notary Center.
Amendment vs Release vs Certified Copy
Keep the jobs separate before you choose a form.
| Job | Typical Florida form focus | Notary limit |
|---|---|---|
| Amend a filed birth record | DH 430 (01/2022) + DH 429 | Notarization ≠ amendment approval or new certified copy |
| Amend a filed death record | DH 433 (01/2022) + DH 524 | Notarization ≠ amendment approval or new certified copy |
| Release a birth certificate | DH 1958 + DH 726 | Different affidavit pathway |
| Release cause-of-death information | DH 1959 + DH 727 | Different affidavit pathway |
| Obtain official certified copy | Issuer-certified vital record from DOH/local office | Not a notary-certified photocopy |
DH 430: Birth Certificate Amendment Affidavit
DH 430 (01/2022) is the Affidavit of Amendment to Certificate of Live Birth. FAC 64V-1.002 is the rule reference associated with this pathway. Use companion application DH 429 as the current packet directs.
Complete only the amendment facts the form and instructions allow. A notary identifies the signer and completes the certificate on the presented form; the notary does not decide whether Florida will accept the amendment or issue a corrected certified birth record.
DH 433: Death Certificate Amendment Affidavit
DH 433 (01/2022) is the Affidavit of Amendment to a Florida Certificate of Death under FAC 64V-1.007, used with DH 524 as directed.
The form includes distinct notary blocks for informant/next-of-kin and for the funeral director. Use the block that matches the signer's role. Do not collapse those roles into one signature rule.
This page does not treat DH 433A or DH 434A as main content. If your packet names a different amendment form, follow that form's own edition and notarial instructions.
| DH 433 signer role | What to check on the form | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Informant / next of kin | Informant/NOK affidavit and matching notary block | Signing the funeral-director block by mistake |
| Funeral director | Funeral-director section and matching notary block | Assuming one notary session covers every role automatically |
If multiple roles must sign, confirm whether separate sessions or papers are required before booking.
Confirm Remote Online Notarization Acceptance
Florida form rules and FAC citations are material to these affidavits. Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state.
Unless the current packet expressly addresses online notarization for your exact affidavit and channel, confirm with the Florida Department of Health or local office that it will accept a remotely notarized DH 430 or DH 433 packet. State RON legality ≠ automatic recipient acceptance for this form.
- Confirm DH 430 or DH 433 edition 01/2022
- Confirm companion DH 429 or DH 524 requirements
- Identify the correct signer role (especially on DH 433)
- Ask whether RON / electronic originals are accepted for this amendment channel
- Remember notarization does not approve the amendment
Office confirmed RON for your amendment affidavit?
After the Florida office confirms acceptance for your exact DH 430 or DH 433 edition, signer role, and submission method, start a secure session with a commissioned U.S. online notary.
Apostille Is Separate
Notarization is not an apostille. If a foreign recipient needs authentication of a notarized paper, see online notarized document and apostille.
Important Limits
iRemoteNotary does not issue vital records, determine eligibility, approve amendments, issue apostilles, or guarantee acceptance.
Use current official PDFs. Editions verified here are DH 430 01/2022 and DH 433 01/2022.
