Term: Four years, then a shorter renewal
A Florida notary is appointed for four years (s. 117.01). The education requirement applies to first-time applicants, so renewing notaries skip the course.

Serving papers in Florida
Before you serve papers in Florida
Each state sets its own rules for serving court papers, and some counties and cities add their own. It is up to you to meet Florida's requirements, and the application asks whether you do. Florida's court rules and official court website are the place to confirm what applies. We can't give legal advice.
As one example, in small claims cases (Small claims, county court (Florida Small Claims Rules)), the court's pages describe service as: “Certified mail (Florida addresses only), the sheriff, or a private process server.” Other civil cases follow their own rules.
