Yes. Neither the notary nor any other person or entity may alter a completed notarial certificate. F.S. 117.107(8) provides:
A notary public may not amend a notarial certificate after the notarization is complete.
In addition, F.S. 831.01 provides:
Whoever falsely makes, alters, forges or counterfeits a public record, or a certificate, return or attestation of any [...] notary public [...] shall be guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
