Here is what it says on http://www.flgov.com/pdfs/ref_manual11-22.pdf page 19: Prohibited Acts for Notaries From Chapter 117, Florida Statutes A notary public may not notarize a signature on a document if: The person whose signature is to be notarized is the spouse, son, daughter, mother, or father of the notary public. §117.107(11). From what I've read brother, sister, cousins (IE. extended family) appear to OK to notarize. Still, just to be safe just get an unrelated notary to notarize your document.
Notaries do not notarize documents. They notarize signatures, and they are only permitted in the state by which they are licensed. It does not matter what the document is. If the document is signed in Pennsylvania in the presence of a Pennsylvania notary, that notary can notarize the signature. If the document is signed in any other state, or outside of the presence of the notary, the notary cannot notarize the signature.
A Notary cannot use their powers to perform notary services for a member of their family.
