Bilingual Notary Services in Tampa Bay
Get your documents notarized with clear communication, in the language you are most comfortable in. I conduct signings in English or Spanish across Tampa Bay.
Appointments by request. Same-day and urgent appointments available when scheduling permits.
What I can do
- Explain, in general terms, the purpose of a document in Spanish
- Notarize signatures on documents written in English or Spanish
- Walk you through the signing from start to finish in your preferred language
What I cannot do
- Provide a certified, word-for-word translation of a document
- Give legal advice, or interpret the legal meaning or consequences of what you are signing
- Represent you in an immigration matter or any other legal matter
I also cannot draft your document or tell you which form you need, in either language. That second point is not a technicality. I am not an attorney licensed to practise law in Florida, I cannot give legal advice about immigration or any other legal matter, and I cannot accept fees for legal advice. A notary is not the same thing as the notario público of many Latin American countries, who is a qualified lawyer — the roles share a name and almost nothing else.
Documents I commonly notarize for Spanish-speaking clients
- Power of attorney
- Real estate and loan signing documents
- Affidavits
- Parental consent and travel letters
- Vehicle title transfers
Bilingual notary FAQs
Are you a certified translator?
No. I can explain a document’s general purpose in Spanish, but I do not provide certified translations. For an official translation, work with a certified translation service.
Can you notarize a document written entirely in Spanish?
In most cases yes, for standard acknowledgements and jurats. Send me the specific document if you are unsure.
Do you charge extra for bilingual service?
No. There is no added charge for language. Standard notarization and travel fees apply as usual.
