Any Florida-issued or Florida-notarized document, apostilled in 5 business days. Walk in to our Wilton Manors office or schedule mobile pickup anywhere in Broward County. Serving Lauderhill with mobile pickup and our nearby Wilton Manors office.
In Lauderhill — home to about 74,000 residents — the need for a document apostille usually arrives with a deadline attached: a consulate appointment, a visa window, a foreign closing date. 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 Lauderhill residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
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.
Work visas for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Singapore, Korea, and most of Europe require apostilled background checks, diplomas, and vital records.
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.
Powers of attorney, corporate documents, and contracts executed in Florida must be apostilled before foreign banks, notaries, and registries will act on them.
Foreign family reunification, residency, and adoption proceedings routinely require apostilled U.S. vital records and police clearances.
Universities abroad request apostilled diplomas, transcripts, and birth certificates as part of enrollment and credential-evaluation files.
Lauderhill is home to roughly 74,000 residents. Known as the heart of South Florida's Jamaican community, Lauderhill sends us a constant stream of documents bound for Kingston and the wider Caribbean — birth certificates, police character checks, and powers of attorney for land matters back home.
We serve clients throughout Lauderhill's neighborhoods including Inverrary, Boulevard Gardens, Broward Estates, and the Central Lauderhill corridor, as well as nearby communities such as Lauderdale Lakes, Sunrise, Plantation, and Tamarac. Landmarks like the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center, Central Broward Park's cricket stadium, and Inverrary's golf communities put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Lauderhill, our Wilton Manors office is about 20 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 Plantation, Sunrise, and Tamarac.
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 20 minutes from Lauderhill — or book mobile pickup and we'll come to you.

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.
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.
$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.
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.
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.
