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 Pompano Beach with mobile pickup and our nearby Wilton Manors office.
In Pompano Beach — home to about 112,000 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 Pompano Beach 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.
Pompano Beach is home to roughly 112,000 residents. Pompano Beach is home to one of South Florida's most established Brazilian communities, along with a large Haitian population — we regularly handle apostilles here for Brazilian dual nationality, foreign marriage, and property transactions abroad.
We serve clients throughout Pompano Beach's neighborhoods including Old Pompano, Cresthaven, Palm Aire, Harbor Village, and Cypress Bend, as well as nearby communities such as Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach, Margate, and Oakland Park. Landmarks like the Pompano Beach Pier, Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, and Pompano Beach Airpark put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Pompano Beach, our Wilton Manors office is about 15 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 Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Wilton Manors.
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 15 minutes from Pompano Beach — 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.
