South Florida Apostille Services
Hours 9am-6pm. Mon-Fri.
We Prepare St. Petersburg Documents and Submit Them to Tallahassee. 2-Day Express Available.
Every Florida apostille is issued by the Secretary of State in Tallahassee. No office in St. Petersburg issues them. What matters is whether your documents arrive in Tallahassee prepared correctly, and that is the part we handle. We serve customers throughout Pinellas County through mail-in, online notarization, and onsite service. Every document is reviewed against Secretary of State requirements before it is submitted, and that review is what prevents the errors that cause rejections.

One Move, Several Documents
Our Pinellas orders come from all over the county, with recent ones from St. Petersburg and five different parts of Clearwater. Many follow the same Gulf coast pattern we see from Tampa down to Naples: a move abroad, for work or for retirement, that needs several documents apostilled at once rather than just one.
That kind of order rarely comes from a single source. A birth certificate from one state, an FBI report from the federal government, notarized personal documents from Florida — each has to be apostilled by the authority that issued it. We route every document to the right office, run it all as one order, and ship the finished set to you, in the United States or abroad.
If your move needs more than one document, send us the full list first. We will tell you what each one needs before you order anything.
Need Notarization? We Handle That Too.
If your document requires notarization before apostille, we offer professional notarization starting at $100. Current pricing is always on the order form.
Many St. Petersburg clients choose to have their documents notarized independently before contacting us. While this is an option, incorrectly notarized documents are one of the most common causes of apostille delays and rejections. When we handle your notarization, it is done to Florida Secretary of State requirements the first time, keeping your process on schedule.
Notarization starts at $100, with current pricing always on the order form. No risk of an incorrect notarization delaying your apostille.

St. Petersburg Apostille Service — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you have a St. Petersburg office I can visit?
A: We do not have a physical drop-off location in St. Petersburg. We serve Pinellas County clients through our secure online document upload, mail-in service, and onsite service where we come to you. Most clients find our online submission and mail-in options faster and more convenient than visiting an office.
Q: How do I submit my documents from St. Petersburg?
A: You have two options. Upload your certified documents directly through our secure online order form — submit before 12pm EST for 2-day express processing. Or ship your original documents to us using the provided shipping label.
Q: Can you come to me in St. Petersburg?
A: Yes. We offer onsite service throughout St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. This is especially useful if your documents require notarization, as we can notarize and collect your documents in a single visit. Contact us at 800-208-2128 to arrange onsite service.
Q: How long does apostille service take for St. Petersburg clients?
A: For eligible Hague Convention country documents submitted before 12pm EST, our 2-day express service applies regardless of your location in Florida. We also offer 3–5 day regular express and 6–8 day standard options. Processing times are estimates and are not guaranteed.
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: Do you handle FBI apostille requests from St. Petersburg?
A: Yes. FBI background check reports require separate processing with longer timelines than standard apostille documents. Contact us at 800-208-2128 for accurate timing on FBI apostille requests from St. Petersburg.
Q: Is same-day apostille available in St. Petersburg?
A: Obtaining a same-day apostille requires traveling in person to the Florida Secretary of State's office in Tallahassee. For most St. Petersburg clients, the cost and logistics of traveling to Tallahassee make this impractical. Our 2-day express service eliminates that burden entirely — submit your completed documents before 12pm EST and we handle everything. No travel, no government office lines, no guesswork.
Q: How much does St. Petersburg apostille service cost?
A: Pricing varies based on the number of documents and processing speed selected. Call us at 800-208-2128 or complete our online order form for a specific quote.
