What is a Florida Written Notarized Consent for Body Piercing of a Minor Child?

The Written Notarized Consent for Body Piercing of a Minor Child is a Florida Department of Health form in which a parent or legal guardian swears, under penalty of perjury, that they have the legal authority to consent to and do consent to the body piercing of their minor child. The piercing salon keeps the signed, notarized form on file to comply with Chapter 64E-19 of the Florida Administrative Code.

When do you need one?

You need this form whenever a minor child gets a body piercing at a licensed Florida salon. The parent or legal guardian must complete it, identify the piercing location(s) consented to, and sign it in front of a notary. The salon must retain the notarized form as part of its records.

Does it need to be notarized?

Yes. The form must be sworn to or affirmed in person before a notary, who verifies the parent or guardian’s identity and witnesses the signature. You can complete this online with a Notaron notary, or print the pre-filled form and sign it before any notary.

Can you notarize a Florida Written Notarized Consent for Body Piercing of a Minor Child online in your state?

Remote online notarization is authorized in 43 states, and a notarization performed under a state’s RON law is generally recognized in the others — so signers in states without their own RON statute can usually still notarize online with a commissioned notary elsewhere. Whether this document is eligible, and whether it needs witnesses, depends on your state and on the party who will accept it. Select your state for its specific rules.

Florida law: Chapter 64E-19

Body piercing salons in Florida are regulated by the Department of Health under Chapter 64E-19 of the Florida Administrative Code. A salon must keep a written, notarized parental-consent record on file for every client under 18 before performing a piercing. This form is the Department of Health’s template for that record. Use of the exact form is voluntary, but salons rely on it to satisfy the record-keeping requirement, so most will ask for it.

Who can give consent

Only the minor child’s natural parent or a legal guardian appointed by a court may sign. The signer swears or affirms, under penalty of perjury, that they have the legal authority to consent to the body piercing of the child. A grandparent, sibling, family friend, or older partner cannot provide consent unless they are the court-appointed legal guardian. Bring identification — the notary must verify the signer’s identity.

What the salon needs on file

The completed form identifies the parent or guardian, the minor child and their date of birth and age, and the specific body location(s) the parent consents to have pierced. It is then sworn before a notary, who completes the notarial block with the date, the signer’s identity verification, and their seal. The salon retains the notarized form with its records.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Florida body piercing consent form have to be notarized?

Yes. The parent or legal guardian must swear to or affirm the consent in person before a notary public, who verifies identity and witnesses the signature. Notaron lets you do this online by video, or you can print the form and visit any notary.

Who can sign the consent for a minor?

Only the minor child’s natural parent or a court-appointed legal guardian can sign. The signer affirms under penalty of perjury that they have the legal authority to consent to the body piercing.

Is this the official Florida Department of Health form?

Yes. Notaron fills your answers directly onto the Department of Health’s form used to comply with the record-keeping requirements of Chapter 64E-19, Florida Administrative Code. Use of the form is voluntary but salons commonly require it.

What information do I need to complete it?

The parent or guardian’s name and address, the minor child’s name and date of birth, and the body location(s) being pierced. The notary and salon sections are completed at signing.

Does Florida require parental consent to pierce a minor’s ears or nose?

Yes. Under Florida law a licensed body-piercing salon may not pierce anyone under 18 — including ear and nose piercings — without the written, notarized consent of a parent or legal guardian, and in most cases the parent must be present.

How long does online notarization take?

Usually about 10–15 minutes. You verify your identity, meet a commissioned notary by video, and the notary witnesses your signature and applies their seal. You receive the completed PDF immediately.

Is a notarized PDF legally valid, or do I need the paper original?

A document notarized by a Florida online (RON) notary is legally valid in electronic form. You can present the signed PDF to the salon; print a copy if the salon prefers paper for its records.
