State Notary Agent®
The Florida Notary Public Directory
Notaries routinely pay for the wrong product because these are used interchangeably. They are not the same.
A directory is consumer-facing. Members of the public search it and contact the notary directly. It produces general notary work — a $10 acknowledgment plus a travel fee. Notaries pay to be listed or to be placed higher.
A signing service is business-facing and largely invisible to the public. Title companies and lenders place orders; the platform dispatches them to notaries and keeps a spread. It produces loan signings at $85–$200. Registration is generally free; the platform is paid from the spread.
The practical consequence: a directory listing will not get you loan signing work. If your goal is closings, register with signing services. If your goal is local walk-in work, a directory helps.
Published rates across the established notary directories generally fall between roughly $79 and $500 per year, depending on placement and market. Common structures include a flat annual membership, tiered placement positions, per-county add-ons, and premium top-of-page slots priced by how competitive the market is.
Worth knowing before you buy: several long-standing directories are widely reported by working notaries to produce little assignment volume. Ask for traffic or lead figures before paying for placement, and be sceptical of any directory that will not provide them.
State Notary Agent is a free public directory of commissioned Florida notaries, built from Florida Department of State commission records. Basic inclusion costs nothing and searching costs nothing. Notaries may claim an entry at no charge to add services and contact details, and optional paid placement is published openly on the rate card.
It is not a signing service and does not dispatch loan closings. Florida notaries seeking signing assignments — remote online sessions or in-person appointments — should look to RON Closing, which dispatches both to commissioned Florida notaries.

Directories produce general notary work such as acknowledgments and mobile appointments. They rarely produce loan signing assignments, which are dispatched through signing services. Several long-standing paid directories are reported by working notaries to produce little volume, so ask for traffic figures before paying.
