Broward County apostille and notary services — Wilton Manors office, mobile pickup countywide, in-person filing at the Florida Department of State.
Every apostille filing at the Florida Department of State is accompanied by the Apostille and Notarial Certificate Request Form — it tells the state who's requesting, what documents are enclosed, which country each is destined for, and where to send everything. The destination-country field matters more than it looks: it determines whether the state issues an apostille (Hague Convention countries) or a certificate of notarial authority (everywhere else).
You can download the official form below and complete it in advance — or skip it entirely. When we handle your filing, we complete the request form for you during pickup or your office visit. It's part of the service, not an extra.
The three that cause problems: writing the wrong destination country (or leaving it blank), which can produce the wrong certificate type; listing documents that don't qualify, which stalls the whole envelope; and mismatched return information. Each is harmless when the filing is reviewed by someone who does this daily — which is the point of not doing it alone.
No — we complete it with you at handoff. If you enjoy paperwork, the download is above; if you don't, that's what we're for.
Hague Convention countries receive an apostille; non-member countries receive a certificate of notarial/official authority that then goes through embassy legalization. The form's country field drives which one the state issues.
Documents bound for different countries are itemized by destination; we structure the filing so each document receives the correct certificate.
