Florida notaries are not required by law to keep a journal. However, the state legislature has consistently recommended that journals be kept. A journal should include the date and time of the notarization, the name, address and signature of the signer, a description of the document, and the type of identification produced (including serial number).

When the person's signature appears in your journal, it serves as proof that the signer personally appeared before you as required by law. Thus, if a notary is called into a court of law he can rely upon his journal to refresh his memory about an act performed years earlier and he has the signature as proof that the signer personally appeared. Many journals have a space for the signer's thumbprint also. You are not authorized or required by law to collect a thumbprint but you can still ask for one; however, if the person refuses to give a thumbprint you should still proceed with the notarization, provided that all other legal requirements are met.
