For spousal visas, registering the marriage abroad, and citizenship files. $190 per certificate, 5 business days. Serving West Palm Beach from our West Palm Beach office, by appointment.
In West Palm Beach — home to about 11,500 residents — the need for a marriage certificate apostille usually arrives with a deadline attached: a consulate appointment, a visa window, a foreign closing date. Married in Florida but need the marriage recognized somewhere else? Foreign governments won't accept a U.S. marriage certificate as-is — before registering the marriage, granting a spousal visa, processing a name change, or extending citizenship to a spouse, they require the apostille.
Florida marriage certificates are issued by the Clerk of Court in the county where the license was recorded — in Palm Beach County, that's the Palm Beach Clerk of Courts. Only a certified copy with the clerk's seal qualifies for an apostille. We verify the copy, file it in person at the Florida Department of State, and return the apostilled certificate in 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.
Changing a passport, national ID, or property title abroad after a Florida wedding requires the apostilled certificate as proof of the marriage.
Foreign pension systems, health coverage, and survivor benefits for a spouse all rest on apostilled proof that the marriage existed.
A foreign court handling divorce or annulment of a Florida marriage starts with an apostilled copy of the original certificate.
Before granting a spousal visa or residency permit to a couple married in the U.S., immigration authorities in nearly every country ask for the apostilled marriage certificate.
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 marriage certificate apostilles for clients in nearby Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach.
This is the section that saves West Palm Beach clients the most time: The document must be a certified copy of the marriage record issued by the Clerk of Court in the Florida county where the marriage license was filed — for Palm Beach weddings, the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts. The decorative certificate signed at the ceremony, the church certificate, and photocopies cannot be apostilled.
Don't have a certified copy? Palm Beach County's Clerk of Courts issues them by mail, online, and in person. Married in another Florida county — Miami-Dade, Palm Beach — the process is the same through that county's clerk, and we apostille those too. Married in another state, and the certificate must be apostilled there; married abroad, and the foreign certificate can't receive a U.S. apostille at all. When your marriage certificate 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 marriage certificates 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 marriage certificate 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.
The Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts — you can order certified copies online, by mail, or in person. Once you have the certified copy with the clerk's seal, we take it from there.
No. Either spouse — or anyone acting for you — can bring us the certificate. What the apostille verifies is the clerk's signature on the record, not yours.
Often, yes — countries where Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian is spoken usually want a certified translation before local registration. We handle translation and apostille together as one order.
Under Florida law certified copies never expire — but plenty of foreign registries want one dated within the past 6–12 months. If yours is older, a fresh copy is cheap insurance against rejection abroad.
Yes, from any county in Florida. Whichever county clerk issued the record, the apostille itself always comes from the Florida Department of State.
