Powers of attorney, affidavits, travel consents and corporate documents — notarized and apostilled in one pass. $190 per document, 5 business days. Serving Town 'n' Country.
This is the broadest category we handle, because it covers anything you sign rather than anything the state issues. A power of attorney letting a relative sell property in Colombia. A single-status affidavit for a wedding in Italy. A consent letter so a child can travel with one parent. A corporate resolution for a subsidiary in Brazil. All of it becomes apostillable the moment a Florida notary signs it.
Because we're Florida-commissioned notaries, the notarisation and the apostille happen in one coordinated pass — you don't go find a notary first and then come to us. We check the wording against what the destination country expects before anything is signed, because a power of attorney that's notarised correctly but drafted wrong is still a wasted trip. Town 'n' Country clients can sign at our Westshore office or have us come to them.
The most common document in this category — authorising a relative or lawyer overseas to buy, sell, manage or inherit property on your behalf.
A sworn statement that you are free to marry, required by foreign civil registries before they will issue a marriage licence to a U.S. citizen.
Notarised consent from the non-travelling parent, apostilled so foreign immigration officers will accept it at the border.
Board resolutions, articles of incorporation, certificates of good standing and signing authorities for foreign subsidiaries and cross-border transactions.
Authorisations to open, access or close accounts held overseas, and to act on foreign investment and brokerage matters.
Sworn statements of support, residence, identity, income or relationship required by foreign courts, consulates and government agencies.
Town 'n' Country is home to roughly 85,000 people, one of the largest communities in Hillsborough County. Town 'n' Country is one of the most heavily Hispanic communities in the Tampa Bay area, with large Cuban, Colombian, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican and Dominican populations. Spanish-language apostille demand here is significant and persistent — actas de nacimiento, poderes notariales, and antecedentes penales headed to consulates across Latin America and Spain.
Across Town 'n' Country we handle documents for residents of Country Village, Bay Crest, Twin Lakes and Woodbridge. We know the ground around the Sheldon Road corridor, Town 'N Country Park and Tampa International Airport. That matters more than it sounds: this is a local service, not a mail-in processor.
Our office sits about 12 minutes away from Town 'n' Country. We work by appointment, which means no queue at the counter when you get here. Clients in Westchase, Tampa and Carrollwood come to us for the same notarized document apostille work.
Documents leaving Town 'n' Country most often head to Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Spain. This is the most consistently Spanish-language caseload in the county: actas de nacimiento and matrimonio, poderes notariales, and antecedentes penales bound for consulates across Latin America and Spain.
Minutes from the office, and served in Spanish where preferred throughout the appointment. Whichever route you take, the document is filed in person at the Florida Department of State rather than mailed, which is what holds the return to 5 business days.
For a signed document, what the Department of State authenticates is the notary's commission — so the notarisation has to be complete and correct. That means a Florida notary's seal, signature, commission number and expiry, the correct notarial wording (acknowledgment or jurat, depending on the document), and the signer present with valid photo identification. Any of those missing and it comes back.
We can notarise and apostille in the same appointment, including remote online notarisation when signers are elsewhere. If the document was already notarised by someone else, we'll apostille it — after checking the notarial certificate, because a surprising number of otherwise fine documents fail on an incomplete acknowledgment. Documents in Spanish or Portuguese are no obstacle. Come to our Westshore office — about 12 minutes from Town 'n' Country — or book mobile notarisation and filing in the same visit.
You come to West Kennedy Boulevard at a time we've reserved for you. One exchange, and the document is in our hands.
Every document is examined before filing — issuing seal, signature, notarial certificate, and the specific requirements of the country it's headed to.
We present the document at the Florida Department of State in person. Nothing sits in a mailroom, and nothing waits behind a batch of other people's paperwork.
The apostilled original is back and ready to collect at the office. You'll hear from us the moment it's in.
A single figure per document, with the Florida Department of State's fee already included. Bundles bring the per-document rate down from there.
The $10 Florida Department of State fee is built into every price, along with in-person filing and end-to-end handling of the document. Documents that require notarization first can have that added on.
Grab the Apostille and Notarial Certificate Request Form from the Florida Department of State here. There's no need to fill it out ahead of time — we'll complete it with you at your appointment.
Yes — we work by appointment only, which is deliberate: it means no queue when you arrive and no wasted trip from Town 'n' Country. Ring us and we'll confirm a time inside one business hour.
Ours, at 4830 W Kennedy Blvd, Suite 633K in Tampa's Westshore district — about 12 minutes away away. Appointments only, confirmed within one business hour of your request.
Five business days from the moment we take the document to the moment it's back apostilled. That figure doesn't change with distance — Town 'n' Country runs on the same in-person filing schedule as everywhere else we serve. On a tighter deadline, call and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
Yes — that's the normal way we handle this category. We're Florida-commissioned notaries, so you sign in front of us and the document goes straight into the apostille queue. One appointment, one fee, no hunting for a notary first.
Yes. Spanish and Portuguese documents are routine for us — Tampa Bay generates a constant flow of poderes notariales bound for Latin America and Spain. The notarial certificate itself will be in English, which is what the Department of State authenticates, and that is accepted everywhere.
Yes, provided the notarisation is complete — seal, signature, commission number, expiry date and correct notarial wording. We check it before filing. If something's missing we'll tell you straight away rather than let it get rejected in Tallahassee.
The signer has to appear before the notary — but that can be in person or by remote online notarisation, which Florida law permits. We handle both. Once notarised, the signer's involvement is finished; nobody needs to be present for the apostille itself.
We can't draft it — that's legal work and we're a document handling service, not a law firm. What we can do is review the wording against what the destination country typically expects and flag problems before you sign. Most clients get the draft from the lawyer or relative abroad who needs it.
