Florida Apostille

What the Florida apostille is

The apostille is the certificate the Florida Secretary of State — the state's only competent authority — attaches to a document so that Hague Convention countries accept it without embassy legalization. For notarized documents, the apostille certifies the Florida notary's commission, which is why any document we notarize online qualifies, wherever you signed it from.

Florida apostille cost

The Department of State charges $10 per document. Our complete service — online notarization, the certified paper filing the state requires, the application with your destination country, the $10 fee, and tracked return delivery — is $299 per document with US delivery or $499 shipped worldwide. One price, nothing added later.

Florida apostille processing time

The Department of State typically processes apostille requests in about five business days, plus transit each way. Our end-to-end timeline runs 7–10 business days from order to delivery: notary session within a day, filing the next business day, state processing, then tracked shipping. Facing a deadline? Tell us in the request and we'll say honestly whether it's achievable.

Why people in other states use the Florida apostille

Because the apostille follows the notary, not the signer. Sign online from Texas, New York, or abroad with our Florida-commissioned notary and your document becomes a Florida notarial act — apostilled by Florida with exactly the same legal force as any other state's certificate under the Hague Convention. It's the legal shortcut past your own state's apostille office.

What we can and can't apostille

We apostille documents we notarize: powers of attorney, affidavits, consent forms, business documents, and sworn true-copy packages for passports and diplomas. Florida-issued vital records — birth, marriage, death certificates — follow the record channel instead, handled by our sister service My Florida Apostille.

How This Works

Why a Florida apostille works when you’re in another state — or another country

Because an apostille certifies the notary, not the signer. Your notarization is performed online by a Florida-commissioned notary, so the notarial act is governed by Florida law (Chapter 117, Part II) no matter where you’re sitting. That makes your document a Florida document — and the Florida Secretary of State is the competent authority to apostille it.

Under the Hague Convention, every US apostille carries exactly the same legal power — a Florida apostille is worth precisely as much as one from California, Texas, or New York. The embassy or registry receiving your document only checks that the apostille is genuine; it doesn’t care which state issued it. The result: you skip your own state’s apostille office entirely — no lines, no mailing originals, no taking time off work.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Florida apostille cost?

The state fee is $10 per document. Our all-inclusive service — notarization, filing, state fee, and tracked delivery — is $299 per document ($499 with worldwide delivery).

How long does the Florida Department of State take?

About five business days of state processing is typical; our full door-to-door service usually completes in 7–10 business days including the notary session and shipping.

Can I get a Florida apostille if I don't live in Florida?

Yes — that's the core of our service. The notarization happens online with a Florida notary, making Florida the issuing authority regardless of where you sign from, and the apostille carries identical force to your own state's.

Do I need to mail you anything?

No. You upload your document and sign in a live online session. We handle the printing, certification, and Florida Department of State filing on our end — the only physical shipment is the finished apostilled package delivered to you.

What exactly do I receive at the end?

A tracked package containing your notarized document with the official Florida apostille certificate attached by the Department of State — security paper, gold embossed seal, unique verification number — plus the digitally sealed PDF from your session for your records.

Is online notarization legal?

Yes. Remote online notarization is authorized by Florida Statutes Chapter 117, Part II, is recognized across the US, and the Florida Department of State accepts remotely notarized documents for apostille.

Can you ship the finished package abroad?

Yes — the worldwide delivery option sends the apostilled package by express international courier directly to any Hague Convention country, fully tracked, typically arriving in 2–5 business days after the apostille is issued.

How long does the whole process take?

Typically 7–10 business days door to door: your notary session within about a day of confirming, roughly five business days of Florida Department of State processing, then tracked delivery.
