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.
Is an affiant and a notary the same thing?
An affiant and a notary are not the same thing. An affiant is the person who signs an affidavit or statement. The notary (often called "notary public") is an official who witnesses the affiant's signature, often by affixing a seal of the state in which the notary is licensed. Note that a notary may not notarize his/her own signature. Therefore, even if an affiant (person who is signing a statement), a separate person who is licensed as a notary must witness and stamp the first affiant's signature. What the notary is notarizing is the person's signature--not the validity of any statement. Is this now clear as mud?
