This bill amends Florida statutes related to the recording of instruments conveying real property. It introduces new requirements for electronic notarization, mandating that electronic signatures used in notarial acts include a date, time stamp, and the names of the grantor and grantee, all of which must appear as a watermark to prevent copying. Additionally, the bill specifies that certain instruments cannot be recorded without presenting a valid and unredacted identification document, which is defined as a government-issued photographic ID that includes the individual's name, address, photograph, and signature.

Furthermore, the bill allows clerks of the circuit court to return instruments for correction if they do not meet the specified requirements, with a mandate that such instruments must be returned within three business days of receipt. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2026.
