Powers of attorney, affidavits, authorization letters, corporate documents — we notarize on the spot and apostille in 5 business days. $250 per document. Serving Hollywood from our Fort Lauderdale office, by appointment.
Every week, notarized document apostille requests reach us from Hollywood households and businesses — a city of roughly 153,000 where international paperwork is a fact of daily life. 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 Hollywood residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
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.
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.
Hollywood is home to roughly 153,000 residents. Hollywood's large Cuban, Colombian, and Romanian communities keep a constant flow of documents moving between South Florida and consulates abroad — birth certificates for citizenship claims, powers of attorney for property overseas, and marriage records for foreign spouses.
We serve clients throughout Hollywood's neighborhoods including Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, Hollywood Lakes, and Downtown Hollywood, as well as nearby communities such as Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Pembroke Pines, and West Park. Landmarks like the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, ArtsPark at Young Circle, and Memorial Regional Hospital put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Hollywood, our Fort Lauderdale office is about 25 minutes away — visits by appointment — and appointments are usually available same day or next day. Also serving notarized document apostille clients in nearby Pembroke Pines, and Hallandale Beach.
This is the section that saves Hollywood clients the most time: 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 20 minutes from Hollywood — appointments usually available same day or next day.
Reserve a time that works — a scheduled office visit at 6750 N Andrews Ave, Ste 288E. Confirmed inside one business hour.
Nothing gets filed unchecked. We confirm certification, notarization, and country-specific requirements up front so your filing is not the one that bounces.
Your documents go to Tallahassee with a person, not a postmark, and are filed at the Department of State counter the same trip.
Five business days from handoff, the apostilled originals are ready. Collect at the office or take local delivery; we call as soon as they land.
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 Hollywood is a city where Cuban, Colombian, and Eastern European families keep vital records moving between South Florida and consulates abroad, the notarized documents we apostille here are most often bound for Cuba, Colombia, Romania, and Israel. 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 Hollywood clients the most time.
Yes — we serve every city in Broward County, Hollywood 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.

Yes — that's the core of this service. Book an appointment, bring the unsigned document and your government-issued ID to our Fort Lauderdale office, we notarize on the spot, and the apostille comes back in 5 business days.
