An Apostille is a specialized certificate issued by the Secretary of State. The Apostille is attached to your original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic so it will be accepted as valid in another country.

In the United States, all 50 states and the Federal Government (US Department of State – Office of Authentication) can issue an Apostille.

Our discount Apostille Service provides safe, trackable service at the lowest prices in Florida. All of our discount services include:

•  We review your documents in advance to ensure compliance. Currently, more than half of all documents submitted for Apostille in the State of Florida are rejected. The reasons vary, but the end result is the same; delays in getting your documents authenticated and returned to you. Hillsborough Notary Service has NEVER had a document rejected by the Secretary of State.
•  We fill out all forms required by the Florida Secretary of State, and pay all fees associated with the Authentication. This may seem minor, but we know exactly what the State is looking for, so we complete these forms with meticulous care including every detail.
• We use Federal Express as our shipping carrier. We provide tracking numbers for all shipments to/from the Florida Department of State. We hand carry every document to the Secretary of State’s Office and we pick up and hand carry out every document.
