It is not prohibited by law. Florida law specifies that a notary may not notarize the signature of their parents, spouse, or children. The law is silent on siblings.
However, it is probably not advised, and if you choose to notarize a sibling's signature, particularly if they have the same last name as you, you might want to add a statement to the certificate such as:
"The person whose signature is being notarized is not my spouse, mother, father, son, or daughter, whose signatures I would be prohibited from notarizing per F.S. 117.107(11)".
This will clarify that the signature you are notarizing is NOT that of your parent, child, or spouse.
