Handing notice letter weeks after verbal notice
In December 2018, my boss and I have talked about the company’s situation (it still has issues), so he asked me if I’m planning to continue working here. I said no and that I have to go. He asked for details and I said I’m intending to be here until the first half of February 2019.
It’s almost February and my boss still hasn’t started looking for a replacement. (I would know if he did). I’m afraid he might be deliberately putting it aside because I agreed to stay until we have a replacement, which was my bad. Until now I’m scolding myself about it. Anyway.
Our labor law requires a 30-day notice period when an employee resigns, that’s why I wanted to give it already. Would it still be considered professional, given that my boss and I had talked about my quitting verbally? Wouldn’t it look like I’m hurrying my way out? What would be a polite response if he reminds me that I agreed to stay until a replacement arrives?

It's already very nice of you to give your boss any heads up that you're unhappy and planning on leaving.
Our labor law requires a 30-day notice period when an employee resigns, that’s why I wanted to give it already. Would it still be considered professional, given that my boss and I had talked about my quitting verbally?
You technically already disclosed that you were looking for a new job to your boss way in advance of the official notice. You're just handling in the official notice now. It's not unprofessional to abide by the legal notice period.
What would be a polite response if he reminds me that I agreed to stay until a replacement arrives?
My response would be. "If my replacement arrives in the next 30 days, I would be happy to transfer everything I know to them."
