Powers of attorney, affidavits, authorization letters, corporate documents — we notarize on the spot and apostille in 5 business days. $250 per document. Serving Weston from our Fort Lauderdale office, by appointment.
In Weston — home to about 68,000 residents — the need for a notarized document apostille usually arrives with a deadline attached: a consulate appointment, a visa window, a foreign closing date. 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 Weston residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
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.
Airlines and border authorities require notarized consent when a minor travels internationally with one parent or a guardian — many countries require it apostilled.
Weston is home to roughly 68,000 residents. Weston is famously home to one of the largest Venezuelan communities in the country — apostilled birth certificates, marriage records, and powers of attorney for use in Venezuela, Colombia, and Spain are among our most frequent requests from Weston families.
We serve clients throughout Weston's neighborhoods including Weston Hills, Savanna, The Falls, Bonaventure, and Emerald Estates, as well as nearby communities such as Sunrise, Davie, Southwest Ranches, and Pembroke Pines. Landmarks like the Weston Town Center, Cleveland Clinic Florida, and Markham Park's western edge put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Weston, our Fort Lauderdale office is about 30 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, Davie, and Sunrise.
The rules are specific, and they are where Weston filings most often go wrong: 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 30 minutes from Weston — 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 Weston is home to one of the largest Venezuelan communities in the country, the notarized documents we apostille here are most often bound for Venezuela, Colombia, Spain, and Argentina. 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 Weston clients the most time.

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.
