Need Notarization? We Handle That Too

Why use our notarization service?
Many clients choose to have their documents notarized independently before coming to us.

When we handle your notarization, it is done to Florida Secretary of State requirements the first time, keeping your apostille process on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the cutoff time for 2-day express processing?
A: Documents submitted before 12pm EST on a business day qualify for 2-day express processing. Documents received after 12pm will begin processing the following business day.
Q: Is same-day apostille service available in Florida?
A: Obtaining a same-day apostille requires traveling in person to the Florida Secretary of State's office in Tallahassee. For most customers, the cost and logistics of traveling to Tallahassee make this impractical. Our 2-day express service eliminates that burden entirely — simply submit your completed documents before 12pm EST and we handle everything. No travel, no government office lines, no guesswork.
Q: Does my destination country need to be a Hague Convention member?
A: Yes. Our 2-day express service applies to documents being apostilled for use in Hague Convention member countries. Documents for non-Hague countries require additional processing steps and longer timelines. Check whether your destination country is a Hague member directly on our order form.
Q: Do FBI background check reports qualify for 2-day express?
A: No. FBI background check reports are federal documents and are not processed at the state level. They require separate federal processing with longer timelines. Contact us at 800-208-2128 for accurate timing on FBI apostille requests.
Q: Do I need to notarize my documents before apostille?
A: It depends on the document type. State-issued vital records such as birth, death, and marriage certificates typically do not require additional notarization. Personal documents and powers of attorney must be notarized by a Florida notary public first. We offer professional notarization starting at $100, done to Florida Secretary of State requirements the first time.
Q: Can I upload my documents online?
A: Yes. Our secure online order form includes a document uploader. This is the fastest submission method — upload your completed documents, submit before 12pm EST, and your 2-day processing begins the same day.
Q: How much does 2-day express apostille service cost?
A: Pricing varies based on the number of documents. Call us at 800-208-2128 or complete our online order form for a specific quote.
Q: Are processing times guaranteed?
A: Processing times are estimates and are not guaranteed. All times are business days and exclude weekends and federal holidays. Please plan accordingly.
