Overview

Apostille Services for Davie.

Davie sits squarely in our service area — our team is in the city regularly for pickups, and document requests are among the most common reasons why. An apostille is the international certification that makes a U.S. document legally valid in the 120+ countries of the Hague Apostille Convention. For any document issued or notarized in Florida — a birth certificate, a diploma, a power of attorney, a corporate resolution — that certification comes from one place only: the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee.

That's the part most people get stuck on. The state accepts requests by mail, but mail-in processing means weeks of waiting and zero visibility. We solve it the direct way: we collect your documents in Broward County, review them so nothing gets rejected, and file them in person at the Florida Department of State. Five business days, start to finish, $190 per document with the state fee included. For Davie residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.

Why It's Needed

Why Davie residents need a document apostille.

Dual Citizenship

Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, and dozens of other citizenship-by-descent programs require apostilled U.S. vital records for every applicant and ancestor in the line.

Foreign Employment

Work visas for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Singapore, Korea, and most of Europe require apostilled background checks, diplomas, and vital records.

Marriage Abroad

Foreign civil registries require an apostilled birth certificate — and often a notarized single-status affidavit — before issuing a marriage license to a U.S. citizen.

Property & Business Overseas

Powers of attorney, corporate documents, and contracts executed in Florida must be apostilled before foreign banks, notaries, and registries will act on them.

Immigration & Family Petitions

Foreign family reunification, residency, and adoption proceedings routinely require apostilled U.S. vital records and police clearances.

International Education

Universities abroad request apostilled diplomas, transcripts, and birth certificates as part of enrollment and credential-evaluation files.

Local Service

Local to Davie.

Davie is home to roughly 106,000 residents. With Nova Southeastern University and several college campuses in town, Davie generates constant demand for diploma and transcript apostilles — international graduates heading home or abroad for work need their credentials authenticated before foreign employers will accept them.

We serve clients throughout Davie's neighborhoods including Shenandoah, Forest Ridge, Long Lake Ranches, Pine Island Ridge, and Rolling Hills, as well as nearby communities such as Cooper City, Plantation, Southwest Ranches, and Fort Lauderdale. Landmarks like Nova Southeastern University, Flamingo Gardens, and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.

From Davie, our Wilton Manors office is about 25 minutes away — or skip the drive entirely and book mobile pickup; we come to your home or office. Also serving document apostille clients in nearby Fort Lauderdale, and Plantation.

Requirements

What can be apostilled in Florida.

The Florida Department of State can apostille two categories of documents. First: certified copies of Florida public records — birth, marriage, and death certificates issued by the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics, divorce decrees certified by the Clerk of Court, court records, and FDLE background checks. Second: documents notarized by a Florida-commissioned notary — powers of attorney, affidavits, authorization letters, business documents, and school records signed before a notary.

Documents issued by other states must be apostilled by that state. Federal documents — FBI background checks, IRS records, USDA certificates — require federal authentication from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., not a Florida apostille. If you're not sure which category your document falls into, call us; sorting that out before filing is exactly the kind of rejection we prevent. When your document is ready, bring it to our office — about 25 minutes from Davie — or book mobile pickup and we'll come to you.

FAQ

Davie questions.

Do you offer mobile pickup in Davie?

Yes — mobile pickup covers all of Davie and every Broward County city. Requests before 2 PM are routinely scheduled same-day, and every request gets a confirmed window within one business hour.

Where is your office relative to Davie?

We're at 2312 Wilton Dr, Ste 420 in Wilton Manors — about 25 minutes from Davie. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week, or book mobile pickup and skip the trip.

How long does a document apostille take for Davie residents?

5 business days, pickup to return — the same in-person filing timeline countywide. Rush handling is available when your deadline is tighter; call us and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable.

What exactly is an apostille?

An apostille is a certificate attached by the Florida Department of State that authenticates the signature and seal on your document, making it legally valid in all countries that are party to the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961 — over 120 countries including Spain, Italy, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, France, and Germany.

How long does an apostille take in Florida?

Our standard turnaround is 5 business days from pickup to return. Because we file in person at the Florida Department of State rather than mailing documents in, we avoid the multi-week mail-in queue entirely.

How much does an apostille cost?

$190 per document, all-inclusive — that covers document review, in-person filing, the $10 Florida Department of State fee, and return handling. Two documents are $300 ($150 each) and three or more drop to $130 per document.

What if my document is going to a country that isn't in the Hague Convention?

Countries outside the convention — such as China (for some document types), Vietnam, and most of the Middle East outside the UAE and Saudi Arabia's recent accessions — require embassy or consular legalization instead. Call us and we'll confirm what your destination country requires.

Do you handle documents in Spanish or Portuguese?

Yes. We work with certified translators regularly, and we serve many Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking clients across Broward County. If your destination country requires a certified translation alongside the apostille, we can coordinate both.
