Powers of attorney, affidavits, authorization letters, corporate documents — we notarize on the spot and apostille in 5 business days. $250 per document. Serving Fort Lauderdale from our Fort Lauderdale office, by appointment.
Fort Lauderdale sits squarely in our service area — we work with clients from the city constantly, and notarized document requests are among the most common reasons why. 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 your appointment at our Fort Lauderdale office 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. $250 per document, 5 business days. For Fort Lauderdale residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
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.
Fort Lauderdale is home to roughly 184,000 residents. Fort Lauderdale is our home base — our office sits at 6750 N Andrews Ave, Ste 288E, on North Andrews Avenue in the city's northern business corridor. As the county seat, with Port Everglades and an international airport, the city generates constant apostille demand: work assignments abroad, dual citizenship applications, and foreign real-estate closings.
We serve clients throughout Fort Lauderdale's neighborhoods including Las Olas, Victoria Park, Rio Vista, Coral Ridge, Flagler Village, Sailboat Bend, Harbor Beach, and Downtown, as well as nearby communities such as Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Plantation, and Davie. Landmarks like Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, Port Everglades, Las Olas Boulevard, the Riverwalk, and the Broward County Courthouse put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
Our office is right here in the city, on N Andrews Ave just north of Oakland Park Boulevard — book an appointment and hand the documents off in minutes. Also serving notarized document apostille clients in nearby Davie, Plantation, and Wilton Manors.
Most delays start here, so it is worth two minutes for Fort Lauderdale clients: 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. When your notarized document is ready, bring it to our office — about 15 minutes from Fort Lauderdale — appointments usually available same day or next day.
Book your handoff: a scheduled appointment at the office, usually available same day or next day. Times are confirmed within the hour.
We review each document against the state’s checklist — certified copy, valid notarization, correct destination country — before it ever travels.
Filing happens face to face at the Florida Department of State, not by envelope. That is what keeps the timeline fixed at five business days.
When the apostilled originals come back, we call. Pick them up at the office or we return them to you locally — whichever is easier.
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 filing at the Department of State, and full document handling. Notarization available as a separate service when your documents require it.
Download the Florida Department of State Apostille and Notarial Certificate Request Form. We can fill it out for you at your appointment — no need to complete it in advance.
Because Fort Lauderdale is the county seat, with Port Everglades, an international airport, and the largest concentration of immigration attorneys in Broward, the notarized documents we apostille here are most often bound for Italy, Spain, Colombia, and Brazil. That matters practically: each destination has its own quirks — whether a certified translation is required, whether the receiving registry wants a recently issued copy, and whether the apostille needs to be translated along with the document.
We handle those details as part of the job rather than leaving you to discover them at a consulate window. Tell us the destination country when you call and we’ll confirm exactly what your notarized document needs before anything is filed — including whether a translation should be ordered before or after the apostille, which is the sequencing mistake that costs Fort Lauderdale clients the most time.
Yes — we serve every city in Broward County, Fort Lauderdale included. Service is by appointment at our Fort Lauderdale office at 6750 N Andrews Ave, Ste 288E; requests before 2 PM are routinely scheduled the same day, and every request gets a confirmed time within one business hour.

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.
