Denied Applications
The decision to appoint a Florida notary public is a matter within the sole discretion of the Governor, and is not subject to subsequent review. We encourage applicants who were denied a notary public commission to re-submit an application one year after the date the application was signed.
When re-applying, you are welcome to provide any supplemental materials that demonstrate your fitness to serve in public office as a notary, such as letters of recommendation from professional contacts, but are not required to do so.
