POAs, affidavits, authorization letters, corporate paperwork — notarized on the spot here, apostilled within 5 business days. $190 per document. Serving West Palm Beach from our West Palm Beach office, by appointment.
For the 11,500 people who call West Palm Beach home, getting a notarized document accepted abroad comes down to one certification: the Florida apostille. Plenty of apostille-bound documents were never government records to begin with. A power of attorney for property overseas, a single-status affidavit for a foreign wedding, a travel consent letter for a child flying with one parent, a corporate resolution for a subsidiary abroad — all private documents, and each one reaches the apostille only after passing through a Florida notary.
This is where we have a structural advantage: we are a notary service. Bring the unsigned document to your appointment at our West Palm Beach office and we notarize it correctly for apostille purposes on the spot, then file it in person at the Florida Department of State. One handoff covers both steps. $190 per document, 5 business days. For West Palm Beach residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
When a minor flies internationally with one parent or a guardian, airlines and border agents expect notarized consent — and many countries insist that consent be apostilled.
Board resolutions, incumbency certificates, distribution agreements, commercial invoices for use abroad — notarized and apostilled here as routine work.
U.S.-based account holders must supply foreign banks with apostilled, notarized signature authorizations and instructions.
Affidavits and sworn statements for foreign courts, immigration files, and civil registries — Florida-notarized, apostilled for use abroad.
West Palm Beach is home to roughly 120,000 residents. West Palm Beach is our home base — our office sits at 500 S Australian Ave, Suite 600, just off Okeechobee Boulevard at the edge of downtown. Residents book a time and hand off their documents at the office — same-day and next-day appointments are usually available.
We serve clients throughout West Palm Beach's neighborhoods including Downtown, Northwood Village, El Cid, Flamingo Park, Grandview Heights, and SoSo (South of Southern), as well as nearby communities such as Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, and Lake Clarke Shores. Landmarks like Clematis Street, Rosemary Square, and the Norton Museum of Art put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
Our office is right here on Australian Avenue — book an appointment and hand the documents off in minutes. We also handle notarized document apostilles for clients in nearby Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach.
For West Palm Beach residents, the requirements below decide whether a filing succeeds or bounces: What the Florida Department of State actually authenticates is the notary's commission — so the notarization has to be perfect. That means a complete notarial certificate in proper Florida form, a current commission, a legible seal, and signer identification done exactly as the statute requires. Plenty of notarizations that work fine domestically bounce at the apostille counter over a missing venue line or a vague certificate.
Our notaries work on apostille-bound paperwork every single day, so each notarization is executed against the state's own checklist — and when a document targets a particular country, we format for it (Spanish-language POAs for Latin America, dual-column layouts, whatever the receiving notary demands). Already had it notarized somewhere else? Bring it by: we inspect before filing and can re-notarize on the spot if it wouldn't pass. When your notarized document is ready, bring it to our office — about 0 minutes — our office is on Australian Avenue from West Palm Beach — appointments usually available same day or next day.
Book an appointment at our West Palm Beach office — we confirm your time within one business hour, with same-day and next-day slots usually available.
Before anything is filed, we vet the document itself — the certification, the notarization, and what your destination country expects — so rejections don't happen.
We hand-carry your paperwork to the Florida Department of State counter ourselves. No mail-in pile, no batch processing, nothing left to chance.
Your apostilled originals come back in 5 business days, ready for office pickup or local return delivery — and you get a call the minute they arrive.
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.

Because West Palm Beach is the county seat and its largest city, with the courthouse, the consular traffic, and the highest concentration of immigration attorneys in the county, the notarized documents we apostille here are most often bound for Haiti, Cuba, Colombia, and Brazil. That matters practically: each destination has its own quirks — whether a certified translation is required, whether the receiving registry wants a recently issued copy, and whether the apostille needs to be translated along with the document.
We handle those details as part of the job rather than leaving you to discover them at a consulate window. Tell us the destination country when you call and we’ll confirm exactly what your notarized document needs before anything is filed — including whether a translation should be ordered before or after the apostille, which is the sequencing mistake that costs West Palm Beach clients the most time.
Yes — we serve every city in Palm Beach County, West Palm Beach included. Service is by appointment at our West Palm Beach office at 500 S Australian Ave, Suite 600; requests before 2 PM are routinely scheduled the same day, and every request gets a confirmed time within one business hour.
Right in the neighborhood — 500 S Australian Ave, Suite 600, on Australian Avenue itself. Visits are by appointment; call and we will usually have a same-day slot.
Drop-off to return runs 5 business days anywhere in the county — the identical in-person filing schedule for every city we serve. Facing a tighter deadline? Call and we'll give you a straight answer about what rush handling can realistically deliver.
Yes — that's the core of this service. Bring the unsigned document and your government-issued ID to our West Palm Beach office, we notarize on the spot, and the apostille comes back in 5 business days.
Absolutely — dual-column and foreign-language POAs come through here daily. Florida law requires the notarial certificate in English, but the body of the document may be written in whatever language your foreign notary needs.
Yes — as long as the notarization is complete and the notary's Florida commission checks out. We inspect before filing, and if a defect would trigger rejection, we flag it and can re-notarize on the spot.
Yes. Under Florida law the signer must personally appear before the notary — in person, or through approved online notarization for certain document types. For a POA headed overseas, ink notarization face-to-face is the safest choice, since plenty of foreign registries won't accept an electronic one.
We're not attorneys and we don't draft legal instruments — but the foreign consulate or receiving lawyer almost always provides the required language. Bring their template and we take care of execution, notarization, and the apostille.
