Powers of attorney, affidavits, authorization letters, corporate documents — we notarize on the spot and apostille in 5 business days. $190 per document.
Not every document that needs an apostille is a government record. Powers of attorney for property abroad, single-status affidavits for foreign marriage, travel consent letters for a child flying with one parent, corporate resolutions for an overseas subsidiary — these are private documents, and the route to an apostille runs through a Florida notary first.
This is where we have a structural advantage: we are a notary service. Bring the unsigned document to our Wilton Manors office — or have our mobile notary come to you anywhere in Broward County — and we notarize it correctly for apostille purposes on the spot, then file it in person at the Florida Department of State. One handoff covers both steps. $190 per document, 5 business days.
Selling, buying, or managing real estate in another country without traveling — the apostilled POA (or procuración/procuração) lets a representative act for you before a foreign notary.
Marrying abroad? Most countries require a notarized, apostilled affidavit that you're free to marry before issuing the license.
Airlines and border authorities require notarized consent when a minor travels internationally with one parent or a guardian — many countries require it apostilled.
Board resolutions, certificates of incumbency, distribution agreements, and commercial invoices for foreign use are notarized and apostilled routinely.
Foreign banks require apostilled, notarized signature authorizations and account instructions from U.S.-based holders.
Sworn statements for foreign courts, immigration cases, and civil registries — notarized in Florida, apostilled for use abroad.
The Florida Department of State authenticates the notary's commission — which means the notarization itself has to be flawless. The notarial certificate must be complete and in proper Florida form, the notary's commission current, the seal legible, and the signer identified as Florida law requires. A notarization that's fine for domestic use can still bounce at the apostille counter over a missing venue line or an ambiguous certificate.
Because our notaries handle apostille-bound documents daily, we notarize with the state's checklist in mind — and when the document is destined for a specific country, we format accordingly (Spanish-language POAs for Latin America, dual-column documents, foreign notary requirements layered on top). If your document was already notarized elsewhere, bring it in: we'll review it before filing and re-notarize on the spot if it wouldn't survive review.
No hourly rates, no hidden charges, no surprise add-ons. The price you see is the price you pay — including the Florida Department of State filing fee.
All prices include the Florida Department of State filing fee ($10 per document), in-person walk-in filing, and full document handling. Notarization available as a separate service when your documents require it.

Yes — that's the core of this service. Bring the unsigned document and your government-issued ID to our Wilton Manors office (or book mobile), we notarize on the spot, and the apostille comes back in 5 business days.
Yes — foreign-language and dual-column POAs are notarized daily here. The notarial certificate is executed in English per Florida law; the document body can be in any language your foreign notary requires.
Yes, if the notarization is complete and the notary's Florida commission is verifiable. We review before filing — and if there's a defect that would cause rejection, we'll tell you and can re-notarize immediately.
Yes — Florida notarization requires the signer to appear before the notary (in person, or via approved online notarization for some document types). For POAs used abroad, in-person ink notarization is the safest route; many foreign registries reject electronic notarizations.
We're not a law firm and don't draft legal instruments — but foreign consulates and receiving attorneys usually supply the required text. Bring their template and we handle execution, notarization, and apostille.
A current government-issued photo ID — driver's license, state ID, or passport. Foreign passports are accepted.
Yes — the officer appears with ID and signs in their corporate capacity; we notarize the signature. Certificates of incumbency and resolutions supporting authority can be notarized and apostilled in the same package.
Depends on the destination — Brazil and several Latin American countries formally require it; others only require the notarization. Tell us where the child is traveling and we'll confirm, so you don't pay for an apostille you don't need.
