You can notarize for a family member, but it is not a good practice to do so. If the notarized document goes to court, the opposing lawyer will use the notarization to call the document into question and possibly invalidate the document.
FloridaHere is what it says on this subject in Florida:
Prohibited Acts for Notaries
From Chapter 117, Florida Statutes
A notary public may not notarize a signature on a document if:
The person whose signature is to be notarized is the spouse, son, daughter, mother, or father of the notary public. §117.107(11).
