A Partnership You Can Count On

Florida Document Specialists isn’t a gig platform or a middleman.  We’re a Florida-based, family-run company known for precision, compliance, and integrity.

Founded and operated by John Bayne — the 2021 National Notary Association Notary of the Year — our business has grown steadily year after year, with revenue exceeding $450,000. We’ve earned our reputation the same way we’ll earn your trust: by paying fairly, on time, every week.

Why We Created This Program

Let’s be honest — this program isn’t just about helping others make money. It’s about growth for everyone, including us.

I want Florida Document Specialists to keep growing. I want my family to do well. In five years, I want this company to be a seven-figure success story — not because of luck, but because we built something that lifts everyone who’s part of it.

There’s an old saying: “When the water rises, it raises all the ships.” That’s exactly what this program is designed to do.

We’ve all seen the other side of this industry — the nationwide RON “platforms” that overpromise and underdeliver. They convince thousands of notaries to sign up, but then never send them any work, or they run “real-time call queues” that vanish before you can even click “accept.”

And when you do manage to complete an order, you wait weeks or months to get paid — if you get paid at all.

That’s not how we do business.

The Florida Document Specialists Associate Program is built on transparency, dependability, and shared success. When you refer a client who orders and pays for any of our services, you earn 10% of the total invoice, paid every week through Square.

As our company grows, you’ll grow right along with us — because this is a partnership, not a hierarchy.

The More You Refer, the More You Earn

Your effort should be rewarded.

In addition to our standard 10% weekly commission, we’re introducing a tiered rewards system for high-performing Associates. Once your QR code or referral link reaches a set number of completed referrals or total sales volume, your commission rate will automatically increase.

You’ll start at 10%, but once your referrals exceed the threshold, your earnings will grow right along with your results.

We’re finalizing the exact breakpoints now, but one thing is certain: active Associates who bring in steady business will earn at a higher rate.

This tiered model is designed to thank our top performers for helping us grow, while keeping every referral meaningful and trackable.

One Referral Link, Every Service We Offer

Your referral link works across our full line of professional services:

  • Online Notarization (RON): Secure, professional sessions available nationwide and internationally.

  • Apostille and Authentication Services: State and federal legalization of documents for domestic and international use.

  • Deed Recording and eRecording: Reliable Florida deed recording and electronic submission to county clerks.

  • FBI & Livescan Fingerprinting: Fast, compliant background checks for individuals and organizations.

  • Translation and Certification: Professional document translation with notarized or apostilled certification when required.

Every referral — for any of these services — is automatically tracked and credited to you.

Why Associates Choose Florida Document Specialists

  • Led by a Notary of the Year: Founded by John Bayne, 2021 NNA Notary of the Year.

  • Proven Stability: $450,000+ in annual revenue and growing — not a startup, not an app.

  • Reliable Payments: Weekly Square payouts, never late, never forgotten.

  • Tiered Rewards: Increased commission rates for Associates who exceed referral or sales milestones.

  • Full Transparency: Every click and order tied to your referral code is logged for verification.

  • No Empty Promises: We don’t lure you in with “queues” or “potential access” — you get paid for real, completed work.

  • No Fees, No Quotas: Free to join, no minimums, no exclusivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know that joining a new program means having questions — and we’ve heard just about all of them. This section covers how our Associate & Affiliate Program works, what to expect with commissions, how tracking operates, and why so many people trust Florida Document Specialists as their referral partner.

If you’re still on the fence or just want to make sure you understand how everything fits together, the answers below will help you decide with confidence.

It’s a commission-based referral program. When you share your unique link or QR code and someone uses it to order any of our services — online notarization, apostilles, deeds, FBI and FDLE background checks, livescan fingerprinting, or more — you earn a percentage of that paid invoice.

No. Anyone can apply — notaries, paralegals, small business owners, or just people who know others who need document services. All you need is professionalism and honesty.

You start at 10% of every paid order that comes from your referral link or QR code. Some invoices are a few dozen dollars, others are several hundred. If you refer several solid orders a month, it adds up fast.

No limit. There’s no cap on commissions or referrals. If your QR keeps getting scanned and people keep ordering, you keep earning.

Commissions are paid weekly through Square. You’ll get a secure link to set up your Square account. No PayPal, no Zelle, no waiting months — every week, like clockwork.

No. You’ll be paid as an independent referrer using your name and contact information. If you have a business or LLC, you can register under that instead.

If an order is refunded or canceled before completion, that referral simply doesn’t generate a commission. We only pay on completed, paid invoices — simple and fair.

Each Associate gets a custom QR code and referral link. When someone scans or clicks it, the visit is logged, and any resulting order is automatically tied to your ID in our system. Every click and every order is trackable.

Yes. You’ll receive periodic reports showing your clicks, completed orders, and commissions earned. We believe in total transparency.

All of them. Remote notarization (RON), apostilles, deed recording, lady bird deeds, fingerprinting, and more. If a customer pays for it through Florida Document Specialists, you earn on it.

Yes. We have a tiered rewards system. Once your total referred sales or number of completed orders reach a certain level, your commission rate automatically increases.

You’ll be promoted automatically when you hit the set referral or sales thresholds. The higher your activity, the higher your commission rate.

No immediate loss, but if an account goes completely inactive for a long period, it may reset. Our goal is to reward consistent partners who help the program grow.

Not even close. You’ll never see us on a Facebook group for “deadbeats.” Unlike the big nationwide RON platforms that promise “real-time calls” and deliver nothing but silence, we don’t lure people with hype or empty dashboards. Our program pays you for real, completed orders — every week, like clockwork.

We’re a well-established Florida company with more than $450,000 in annual revenue, thousands of satisfied clients, and hundreds of 5-star reviews. We’re also A+ rated and accredited by the Better Business Bureau. You don’t earn that kind of reputation by being dishonest or poorly run.

Commissions are processed weekly through Square — manually reviewed and paid out by a real person, not a bot — so nothing slips through the cracks. If your order was completed and paid, you’ll get your commission that same week.

Yes — just do it truthfully. You can share your link or QR code on your website, business cards, social media, or even on local bulletin boards. We encourage creativity and visibility, as long as it’s accurate and professional.

No. There are no sign-up fees, monthly fees, or quotas. The program is free to join and stays that way. You earn commissions on completed, paid orders — that’s it.

No. You’re not an employee or contractor — you’re a referrer. You’re simply earning commissions for successful referrals that result in completed, paid orders.

Absolutely. Many of our services — especially international  online notarization and apostilles — are available nationwide and internationally. Your link works anywhere.

Just reach out. You can contact us directly through the website or give us a call. We’re a real company with real people — no chatbots, no endless email loops. We’ll walk you through how everything works and help you get started.
