What is a non-attorney document preparer?
A non-attorney document preparer is legally authorized to prepare and format documents based on information you provide. We cannot give legal advice, recommend which document to use, or represent you in court. We type your information into pre-existing legal templates. If you need legal advice, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
Why is YYMA Documents cheaper than LegalZoom?
LegalZoom averages $25–$89 per document with subscriptions and upsells. YYMA Documents is a flat $9.99 (single language) or $14.99 (bilingual pack). No subscriptions, no hidden fees, no upsells. We focus on essential everyday legal documents and price them honestly.
Are the documents legally valid?
The documents are built on widely-used legal templates and become legally valid when you sign them — and typically when notarized, depending on the document and the receiving institution. We are not attorneys and cannot guarantee acceptance by a specific institution. If a document has unusual requirements (court filings, federal agencies, foreign governments), consult an attorney.
Do I need to notarize my document?
Some documents require notarization (especially affidavits and travel consents); some do not. After download, you may schedule Remote Online Notarization (RON) with YYMA for $25 — accepted in all 50 states — or use any notary provider of your choice. Notarization is always optional with us, never bundled into the document price.
Can I use these documents outside Florida?
Yes. The templates are state-neutral and used widely across the United States. Our RON is also accepted in all 50 states. Apostille service (certifying a document for international use) is available only for documents notarized in Florida — for documents notarized elsewhere, contact that state's Secretary of State.
What's the difference between English-only and the Bilingual Pack?
English-only or Spanish-only ($9.99) deliver one PDF in your chosen language. The Bilingual Pack ($14.99) delivers BOTH PDFs — one English, one Spanish. Strongly recommended for international travel, immigration paperwork, and any situation where parties on both sides may need to read the document.
How fast do I receive my document?
Instantly. After payment, your document is generated immediately. You can download and print it directly from the confirmation page, and we also email a copy to the address you provided.
Do you handle Florida apostilles?
Yes. We process Apostilles through the Florida Department of State for documents notarized in Florida. This certifies your notarized document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Reach out after your document is signed and we'll handle the rest.
