Need Notarization? We Handle That Too.
If your document requires notarization before apostille, we offer professional notarization services for a flat fee of $100 — regardless of the number of notarizations required.
Many Tampa 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, we guarantee it is done correctly the first time — keeping your process on schedule with no surprises and no additional fees.
$100 flat. No hidden fees. No risk of incorrect notarization delaying your apostille.

Tampa Apostille Service — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you have a Tampa office I can visit?
A: We do not have a physical drop-off location in Tampa. We serve Tampa Bay area 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 Tampa?
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 Tampa?
A: Yes. We offer onsite service throughout the Tampa Bay area. 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 Tampa 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 expedited 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 for a flat $100 fee — guaranteed correct the first time.
Q: Do you handle FBI apostille requests from Tampa?
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 Tampa.
Q: Is same-day apostille available in Tampa?
A: Obtaining a same-day apostille requires traveling in person to the Florida Secretary of State's office in Tallahassee. For most Tampa 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 hassle.
Q: How much does Tampa 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.
