Book an appointment at our Tampa Westshore office. Florida apostille handled end-to-end. $190 per document. Notarization available when your documents require it.
Florida apostille is the core of what we do. Notary and certified translation are services we offer alongside it, so your packet leaves complete and ready for its destination country.
You bring your documents to our Tampa office at a reserved time and we file them in person with the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee, and return them apostilled for collection within 5 business days. Every Florida-issued or Florida-notarized document type — vital records, education, background checks, and notarized legal documents.
A commissioned Florida notary at your appointment, or by remote online notarization if you cannot attend in person. Powers of attorney, affidavits, deeds, contracts and travel consents. Signed documents need this step before the state can authenticate anything, so we fold it into the same visit.
Certified translation for documents headed to foreign authorities, with a signed translator's statement of accuracy attached. Spanish and Portuguese are the languages we handle most in Tampa Bay, alongside Italian, French, German, Russian, Polish, Arabic and Mandarin — coordinated so the translation and the apostille arrive together.

One flat number, nothing bolted on afterward. What we quote is what you pay, and the Florida Department of State's filing fee is already inside it.
Every price covers the $10-per-document Florida Department of State filing fee, in-person submission at the state counter, and complete document handling. If your paperwork needs notarization first, we offer that as a separate add-on service.

Since 2011, Hillsborough County Apostille and Notary Services has handled apostille filings for residents, businesses, immigration attorneys, and corporate filers across the county. From our Tampa's Westshore district office at 4830 W Kennedy Blvd, we walk every apostille through the Florida Department of State in person — no mail-in delays, no batched processing, no guesswork about what comes back.
For documents that need notarization before they can be apostilled — power of attorney, affidavits, authorization letters, travel consent — we notarize on the spot. One pickup, one fee, one timeline.
Any Florida-issued or Florida-notarized document is eligible for apostille by the Florida Department of State. These are the document types we handle most often.

Real reviews from real clients across Hillsborough County — small business owners, immigration applicants, and families navigating international document needs.
“Needed my marriage certificate apostilled for a residency application in Spain. Booked a slot the same afternoon, and they spotted that my copy was too old for the consulate before it went anywhere — told me exactly which office to reorder from. Saved me a wasted filing.”
“FDLE background check for a work permit in the UAE. I had printed the free online search result and had no idea it wasn't the certified version — they caught that in about thirty seconds at the counter. Came back apostilled well inside a week.”
“Six documents for an international adoption file, all filed together in one batch. Everything came back correct the first time and the bundle rate made a real difference. No trip to Tallahassee, no guessing.”
We file in person at the Florida Department of State, so you don’t have to.

Five business days, measured from the moment we take the document rather than from some later processing date. The document is carried to the Department of State counter in Tallahassee by a person, which is what removes the postal transit that makes mail-in submissions run for weeks.
Anything issued by Florida or notarized in Florida. That covers vital records — birth, marriage, death, divorce — plus FDLE background checks, court records, diplomas and transcripts, and any document signed in front of a Florida notary, including powers of attorney, affidavits and corporate resolutions.
Not for a Florida apostille — each state authenticates its own records, and federal documents such as FBI checks or USCIS records go to the U.S. Department of State in Washington instead. We'll tell you exactly which office to approach. In some cases a notarized copy certification performed here makes it a Florida document.
For vital records, a copy issued by the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics, a county health department, or the Clerk of Court, carrying that official's seal and signature. Hospital keepsake certificates, photocopies and laminated documents don't qualify and are rejected at the counter.
Yes — a signed document isn't a public record, so a Florida notary has to witness the signature before the state can authenticate anything. We're commissioned notaries, so the signing and the apostille happen in one appointment. Bring it unsigned with valid photo ID.
Call or send a request with roughly when suits, and we'll hold a slot at the Westshore office. Confirmation comes back within one business hour. Requests before 2 PM can often be seen the same day.
We work by appointment only. On filing days the office may be empty because the documents are at the state counter in Tallahassee, so an unannounced visit risks a wasted trip. We're at 4830 W Kennedy Blvd, Suite 633K — Monday to Friday 9 AM to 6 PM, Saturday noon to 5 PM, closed Sunday. Most appointments take under fifteen minutes.
At intake, when we take the document — card, debit, Zelle or cash at the office. The figure is quoted before you hand anything over: $190 per document with the state's filing fee inside it, $300 for two, $130 each for three or more.
It rarely reaches that point, because intake is a review rather than a drop-off — we check the seal, the notarial certificate and the destination country's requirements before filing. If a rejection happens for something we should have caught, we refile at our cost.
Fill out the form and we’ll call you back within one business hour to confirm your appointment, walk you through pricing, and lock in your timeline.
