A Partnership You Can Count On
We’re not another sign-up-and-hope-for-work platform, and we don’t do gimmicks. We’re a Florida-based, family-run company built on precision, accountability, and a healthy dislike for chaos.
Florida Document Specialists was founded by John and Marilsa (“Mari”) Bayne — a husband-and-wife team who built the business from the ground up with a shared belief that reliability, transparency, and genuine customer care still matter.
John was named the National Notary Association’s Notary of the Year in 2021, and Mari brings more than 30 years of legal and adoption experience, fluent bilingual communication, and an unmatched commitment to doing things right. Together, they’ve combined professionalism and heart to create a company that treats every client like their document truly matters.
Florida Document Specialists has grown past $450,000 in annual revenue by doing one simple thing: keeping its promises. You send us referrals. We deliver results — and Friday payouts that actually arrive.
Why We Created This Program
This program didn’t come out of a marketing meeting or a focus group. It came from something simpler — the idea that when everyone wins, everything runs smoother.
I want Florida Document Specialists to grow. I want my family to do well. And I want the people who believe in what we do — the ones who send clients our way — to share in that success.
It took nearly ten years to grow Florida Document Specialists from a shoestring startup into a steady mid–six-figure operation. I want to reach seven figures in half that time — not through shortcuts or gimmicks, but by building smarter, faster, and with more people sharing in the success.
In five years, I want to look back at a seven-figure company built the honest way: one client, one order, one trusted partnership at a time.
This isn’t corporate fluff — it’s personal. Florida Document Specialists started as an idea and a laptop, and through persistence, mistakes, and a lot of long nights, it became something real. This program is built with that same energy — from one motivated business owner to another. If it feels genuine, that’s because it is.
You’ve seen the other side of this industry — and so have I. It’s a sea of Facebook groups, “exclusive” training courses, and ebooks promising brand-new notaries that six figures are just around the corner. The truth? Most of them are being sold a dream by people who make their money selling the dream.
The notary world isn’t a niche anymore — it’s overcrowded, loud, and full of people waiting at their computers hoping to grab a $7 signing before a thousand others click first. That’s not a business plan; that’s exhaustion disguised as opportunity.
This program flips that script. You don’t have to compete for table scraps or pretend every “platform” is your breakthrough. You let us handle the hard part — the document prep, the RON sessions, the apostilles, the deeds, the compliance — while you focus on what actually builds income: connecting real clients to a business that delivers.
You’ll make more money referring legitimate work to a company that finishes what it starts than you ever will posting “How do I get started?” in a notary Facebook group.
If that part hits home, you might appreciate a blog I wrote called “So You Got Your Notary Commission. Now What?”. It’s a straight-talk look at why so many new notaries struggle — and how to stop chasing “platforms” that never pay off.
We do the heavy lifting. You focus on the marketing. Together, we both win.
That’s not marketing talk — that’s how we operate.
The Florida Document Specialists Affiliate Program keeps things clean and straightforward. When someone you refer places and pays for an order, you earn 10% to start. Our invoices range from quick $30 jobs to complex orders topping $1,000, so even one solid referral can make your week.
And that’s just the beginning. As your referrals grow, your commission grows right along with them — through higher tiers and service-based bonuses that reward steady results. You don’t have to study a pay chart or guess what’s coming. The math runs quietly in the background, and your dashboard shows every click, referral, and payout in plain view.
No mystery. No waiting. No “we’ll get back to you.” Just a program that works — because the people behind it do.
How It Works
We kept this part simple on purpose. No hoops, no fine print, no fifteen-step approval process that makes you question your life choices.
1. Join the Program
Apply online. Once approved, you’ll receive your personal referral link and a custom QR code — your digital calling card for every service we offer.
2. Share Your Link Anywhere
Post it on your website, drop it in your email signature, print it on business cards, stickers, or flyers. Some of our Associates even add their QR code to their phone wallpaper — talk about commitment. Every scan or click is tracked automatically, so you’ll always know when your efforts are paying off.
3. Track Your Progress
You’ll have your own private dashboard showing every referral, order, and payout in real time. No waiting for reports, no wondering what’s working — you’ll see it all as it happens.
As the program grows, you’ll also get access to short training videos and step-by-step marketing tips designed to help you promote specific services like apostilles, eRecording, and online notarization. We’ll give you the tools and ideas — you just put them to work.

4. Get Paid
When a client you referred completes and pays for an order, your commission gets queued for payout. The system handles the math — you just collect the results.
That’s it. Four steps, no drama, and a clear path from sharing your link to seeing results in your account.
Join the Florida Document Specialists Affiliate Program
Earn weekly commissions for every client you refer — no fees, no quotas, no gimmicks. Honest rewards for helping people find trusted document services.
Apply NowThe More You Refer, the More You Earn
You begin at 10%, but that’s only the starting line — the base camp before the climb. Every referral, every order, and every bit of consistent effort moves you upward. As your referrals grow and your sales volume increases, your commissions rise right along with them through automatic tier adjustments and category-specific bonuses.
Once you complete your first payout cycle, your commissions graduate to service-based levels designed to reward real performance — 15% for apostilles, 12% for RON, and higher percentages for premium projects and high-margin categories. You don’t need to track anything manually. The system handles the math, your dashboard shows the numbers in real time, and your PayPal balance reflects the results.
And let’s be clear — this isn’t one of those “Hey hun!” social selling gigs. There’s no downline, no scripts, and no begging friends to sign up. You earn when genuine clients place legitimate orders for real services that make a difference.
This program thrives in a focused niche — not the overcrowded, noisy spaces where everyone’s chasing the same $7 signing from the same, poorly designed RON platform. We built it for professionals who prefer results over hype and who understand that consistency, not charisma, drives lasting income. It’s also built for the doers, the curious, and yes, even the ones who’ve been spinning their wheels. Here, effort counts and integrity pays. It’s straightforward, ethical, and designed to turn consistency into commissions — and the simplest good decision you’ll make all week into steady income that actually shows up.
One Referral Link, Every Service We Offer
No juggling codes, no spreadsheets, no remembering which service goes where. Just one link that quietly does its job — every click tracked, every order credited.
That same link works across every Florida Document Specialists service — from online notarization to deed recording — and automatically applies to any new services we add down the road. If we offer it, your link covers it.
Here’s a sample of what’s already included:
Online Notarization (RON): Secure, professional, and available anywhere in the world — from Miami to Madrid.
Apostille & Authentication Services: State and federal legalization for documents heading overseas.
Deed Recording & eRecording: Fast, accurate submission of deeds, notices, and other filings to Florida county clerks.

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 straightforward, commission-based referral system. When someone uses your unique link or QR code to order any of our services — i.e. online notarization, apostilles, Lady Bird Deeds, eRecording, or Livescan Fingerpring / FBI or FDLE Background Checks, — you earn a commission once the invoice is paid and cleared.
Anyone with integrity and initiative. Notaries, paralegals, real-estate agents, office professionals, small-business owners, or anyone who wants to ethically promote trusted document services and earn real income. You don’t need a notary commission or a business license — just professionalism and honesty.
No. It’s completely free to register, participate, and promote. There are no setup fees, quotas, or gimmicks.
Apply directly on our website by clicking here. Once approved, you’ll receive your personal referral link and QR code, plus dashboard access to track your clicks, orders, and payouts.
All affiliate payments are made through PayPal, issued weekly after a short 10-day hold period. You’ll need a free PayPal account linked to the same email you use for your affiliate profile. Sign up for one at paypal.com.
Payouts occur every Friday for all completed, cleared orders older than 10 days. There’s no minimum threshold — even a single commission triggers a payout.
The entry-level rate is 10% of the invoice total on all qualifying services. Our invoices range from about $30 to well over $1,000, depending on the service ordered. After your first payout cycle, commissions shift to category-specific rates that reward high-value conversions — i.e., 15% for apostilles and 12% for RON transactions over $30. Commissions are calculated on service line items only, excluding shipping. Affiliates who generate more than $1,000 in referred sales for two consecutive months are invited to discuss preferred affiliate rates and expanded partnership opportunities.
Every commission remains pending for 10 days after an order is paid to ensure that the transaction clears successfully and isn’t refunded or disputed.
No cap. As long as your link keeps converting, you keep earning. The more consistent your referrals, the more you make.
Each affiliate gets a custom tracking link and QR code. When someone visits our site through it, a 30-day cookie records that referral, ensuring you receive credit if they order within that time window.
Cookies remain active for 30 days after the first click or scan, so you get credit even if the customer orders later.
All paid Florida Document Specialists services qualify, including online notarization, apostilles, eRecording, Lady Bird Deeds, and more. If the customer pays for it, you earn on it.
If an order is refunded or canceled before completion, that commission is voided or deducted from your next payout. We only pay on completed, non-refunded orders.
No. You can share your affiliate link by email, text, or social media — or print your QR code on cards, stickers, brochures, and posters.
Online tactics
-
LinkedIn. Best for professional intent and B2B referrals. Post brief case studies and “before/after” wins (e.g., “Client in Spain needed a same-day apostille — solved in 48 hours door to door.”). Add your affiliate link to your headline, About section, Featured section, and every relevant post. Join local business groups and comment helpfully on threads about notarization, apostilles, deeds, or recording. LinkedIn search makes your evergreen posts discoverable long after you hit publish.
-
Facebook. Great for local reach. Share posts in neighborhood groups, expat communities, parenting groups (for adoption paperwork), and small-business forums where admin rules allow promotion. Pin a post on your profile with your QR and a one-sentence value promise. Consider short Reels walking through “How to get an apostille from Florida” with a call-to-action in the caption.
-
Reddit. High-intent questions live here. Search subs like r/legaladviceofftopic, r/expats, r/travel, r/immigration, r/florida, or city subs. Don’t spam. Answer questions in plain language, disclose that you’re an affiliate when appropriate, and only drop your link when it genuinely solves the problem. Votes reward helpfulness, not hype.
-
X/Twitter and Threads. Share quick tips and checklists. For example: “Three documents that commonly need apostilles before overseas use: birth certs, FBI background checks, and marriage certs.” Thread it with your link at the end.
-
YouTube Shorts and TikTok. Simple 30–45 second clips work: “What is an apostille?”, “How online notarization works,” “Florida eRecording in two steps.” Put your link in the bio and on a scannable QR at the end of each video.
-
Email signature and autoresponders. Add “Need an apostille or online notarization? Get it done right.” plus your link. Every email you send becomes passive distribution.
-
Business listings and profiles. Add your link on your Google Business Profile website field (if you run a separate business), linktr.ee-style pages, and professional directories where allowed.
Offline tactics
-
Courthouses, legal offices, and title companies. Leave small, professional rack cards or business cards with your QR. Ask the office manager which materials are acceptable and where to place them. Keep the promise simple: “Apostilles, online notarization, and deed eRecording — done right.”
-
Community hubs. Libraries, universities, international student offices, travel clinics, language schools, religious centers, and consulates often field document questions. Ask about bulletin boards or vendor tables on event days.
-
Business expos and networking breakfasts. Bring a tabletop sign with a large QR and a one-liner. Example: “Scan for fast apostilles and online notarization. Florida experts. Worldwide clients.”
-
Vehicles and mobile kits. Add a QR decal to your car window. Keep a “scan card” on your phone’s lock screen so people can scan on the spot.
-
Partner placements. Trade placement with translators, travel agents, adoption agencies, and immigration helpers. You feature their info on your handouts; they feature your QR for apostilles and RON.
Creative assets and copy you can reuse
-
One-line promise. “Apostilles and online notarization — fast, accurate, and handled by Florida experts.”
-
Problem-solution mini ad. “Need documents recognized overseas? We handle apostilles and authentications end to end. Scan to start.”
-
Social caption template. “Moving abroad, studying overseas, or dealing with foreign paperwork? We help with apostilles, online notarization, and eRecording. Save time, avoid rejections, and get it done right. Start here: [your affiliate link].”
-
QR best practices. Use high contrast. Leave white border space. Test scans from 2–3 feet on print. Put a few words under the code: “Scan to Start Notarization” or “Scan for Apostille Help.”
Targeting ideas by service
-
Apostilles. Immigration lawyers’ lobbies, international shipping stores, university international offices, expat Facebook groups, and language schools.
-
RON. Hospitals, elder-law practices, traveling professionals, remote workers, and military communities.
-
eRecording and deeds. Real-estate meetups, investor clubs, and title company circles.
-
Certified copies and translations. Genealogy groups, overseas marriage forums, and study-abroad communities.
Compliance and etiquette
-
Always be truthful about what the service does and does not do. No legal advice, no guarantees of government turnaround times.
-
Respect group rules online. If promotion is limited, contribute value first and disclose your affiliation when you share your link.
-
Don’t bid on our trademarked terms in ads, don’t impersonate the brand, and don’t make comparative claims you can’t substantiate.
Tracking and optimizing
-
Use your affiliate dashboard to see which placements convert. Keep what works, cut what doesn’t.
-
Refresh posts that perform. On LinkedIn and Facebook, update with a new angle or recent client outcome and reshare quarterly.
-
Keep your QR and link identical across assets so all credit keeps flowing to you.
Bottom line
Show up where document problems appear — courts, titles, universities, expat circles, and professional networks. Offer clear help in plain English, give a direct path to start, and let the system track the rest. Consistency beats cleverness. Share daily, keep it honest, and your commissions will follow.
Yes, as long as they’re honest and professional. Do not impersonate Florida Document Specialists, misuse our logo, or bid on trademarked keywords. Always disclose your affiliate relationship where required.
No. Self-referrals, test purchases, and internal orders are not eligible for commissions.
