More details to this question:
Does a bill of sale/assignment/records affidavit (in a credit card case, example) absolutely require a Florida notary to be admissible? I am a bit confused on 117.05 and just can't find this exact answer anywhere. An out-of-state notary is invalid? Must have 2 witnesses in Florida, etc.? Therefore the affidavit is subject to be stricken? Thank you.

The answer is NO. No document, notarized or not, is inherently admissible in court. The document must be authenticated and also pass the rules of evidence.
