Florida Apostille Services | Fast & Secure Processing

When you need documents accepted overseas, timing matters. Whether it’s for a destination wedding, international business, a family matter, or studies abroad, getting an apostille shouldn’t feel overwhelming or stressful. 

 ⭐️ What Is an Apostille? 

An apostille is a special certification that makes your Florida documents valid in any country that’s part of the Hague Convention.
Common apostilled documents include:

• Birth, marriage & death certificates
   
• Power of Attorney
   
• School transcripts & diplomas
   
• Corporate documents
   
• Divorce decrees & court orders
   
• FBI background checks
   

If your document will be used outside the U.S., it most likely needs an apostille.

 ⭐️ Can You Get a Same-Day Apostille? 

Yes — but only under certain conditions.
Florida has one office that issues apostilles, and it's located in Tallahassee.

Here’s what’s realistic:

• In Person in Tallahassee: You can get same-day processing if someone physically walks into the Secretary of State office during business hours.

• Courier / Professional Service (Most Common): Your documents can be submitted and retrieved the same day using a professional courier service — the fastest option for anyone not in Tallahassee.

• By Mail: Not same-day. Expect 5–20 business days, and sometimes longer.

⭐️ Why Clients Choose The NotaryCan for Apostilles 

Because the steps are confusing, and mistakes cost time. You need someone who understands the process, catches issues before submission, and handles everything with accuracy and care.

Here’s what I offer:

• Document Review Before Submission: I check for errors that cause delays — incorrect notarization, expired seals, missing information.

• Secure & Fast Submission Options: Whether you're on a tight deadline or just want it handled correctly, I guide you through the right service level.

• Clear Instructions & Stress-Free Guidance: No guesswork. No confusion. Just a clean, organized process from start to finish.

• Nationwide Online Support: Even if you're outside Florida, as long as the document originates from Florida, I can help you prepare it for apostille.

⭐️ How to Prepare Your Document for an Apostille 

1️⃣ Verify the Type of Document 

Some documents must be originals (like vital records). Others must be notarized before they can be apostilled. 

 2️⃣ Ensure Correct Notarization 

For personal or business documents, the notarization must be flawless — legible seal, correct wording, valid commission.

(If you’re unsure, I’ll review it before you spend money or submit incorrectly.)

 If the country requires a certified translation, I coordinate that for you as well. 

⭐️ Same-Day vs. Expedited Service 

 Not every situation needs same-day processing, but you do have options: 

• Same-Day Tallahassee Courier: Fastest option available. Perfect for urgent international deadlines.

• 1–3 Business Day Expedited Apostille: Most popular option
  Affordable and efficient

• Standard Processing: Best for non-urgent needs. I’ll help you choose the timeline that fits your needs and budget.

 ⭐️ Pricing Transparency 

 Apostilles include several components:

• State Fee
   
• Notarization (if needed)
   
• Courier / Return Shipping
   
• Professional Review & Processing Support
   

Pricing varies based on urgency and document type — but I always provide a clear quote upfront.

 ⭐️ Frequently Asked Questions 

•  What’s the difference between an apostille and legalization? If your document is going to a Hague Convention member country → you need an apostille. If not → you need authentication + embassy legalization. 

•  How long does it take? Same-day, 1–3 business days, or standard 1–3 weeks — depending on your chosen service level. 

•  Do I need a notarized document?  Vital records do not need notarization. Personal, business, corporate, or educational documents usually do.
