My Florida Apostille
Serving Pompano Beach
Any document notarized by a Florida-commissioned notary can be apostilled by the Florida Department of State — that's the whole purpose of the apostille system. The most common notarized documents we apostille for Pompano Beach residents are powers of attorney (for foreign real estate, foreign legal matters, foreign banking), affidavits and sworn declarations (for foreign court proceedings, immigration cases, custody matters), single-status letters (for foreign marriage), corporate resolutions (for opening foreign subsidiaries, foreign bank accounts), and translation affidavits.
For the notarization to qualify, three things must be true: (1) the notary must be a Florida-commissioned notary at the time of the notarization, (2) the notarization must be done in person — Florida's remote online notarization (RON) is accepted for apostille only in certain cases, ask us first, (3) the notarial certificate must be complete in English with the notary's printed name, commission number, and expiration date. We review every document at intake to make sure these conditions are met before sending to FL DOS.
Pompano Beach residents often need to get the document notarized first. We can arrange mobile notarization in Palm Beach and Broward counties for an additional fee — typically combined with the apostille service in a single pickup visit. For drop-off customers in West Palm Beach, we have an in-house notary at the office.
Pricing is the standard $190 per document. Payment is collected during the pickup appointment or online — credit card, ACH, or cash are accepted. Drop-off at our West Palm Beach office is also available if you can make the drive (same $190 pricing).
Every week we help dozens of Broward County residents authenticate their documents for use abroad. These are the most common reasons florida notarized document apostille services are requested.
Buying property in Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Spain, Portugal, or anywhere else? Closings require an apostilled POA naming a local attorney to sign on your behalf. Pompano Beach residents do this all the time.
Handling an estate, lawsuit, divorce, or other legal matter in another country? A Florida-notarized, apostilled POA authorizes a foreign attorney to act on your behalf.
Sworn affidavits and declarations submitted to foreign courts (custody disputes, civil litigation, immigration proceedings) must be apostilled to be admitted as evidence.
Marrying abroad? Most countries require a notarized affidavit affirming you're unmarried and free to marry. We apostille these for Pompano Beach couples regularly.
Florida corporations and LLCs opening foreign subsidiaries, foreign bank accounts, or qualifying to do business in another country need apostilled notarized resolutions authorizing the foreign activity.
Sworn translator affidavits (used when a translated document accompanies the original) are often notarized in Florida and apostilled for foreign court or agency submission.
Both options end the same way — your apostilled documents back in your hands in 5–7 business days, filed in person at the Florida Department of State. All that changes is how your documents reach us.
Drop your documents at our West Palm Beach office — 500 S Australian Ave, Suite 6088B, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 — about 41 miles from Pompano Beach. By appointment, 9 AM – 7 PM, 7 days a week. We review everything on the spot before it gets filed.
Order online and we email you a pre-paid FedEx QR code instantly. Drop your envelope at any FedEx in Pompano Beach — no printer, no envelope, no appointment needed.
The same procedure for every Pompano Beach apostille — whichever option you choose.
Choose drop-off, Pay $190 per document up front (online) or at the appointment.

Our Tallahassee back-office team walks your documents in person to the Florida Department of State counter.
We return the finished apostille the same way you sent it. 5–7 business days, every order.
Pompano Beach is home to roughly 113,000 residents. With Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport and major arteries like the Pompano Beach Pier, Isle Casino Racing, the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, I-95, US-1 all within reach, the city is part of one of Florida's most internationally connected regions — which is why so many residents need documents authenticated for use abroad.
We serve clients throughout Pompano Beach's neighborhoods including Cypress Bend, Palm Aire, Highlands, Cresthaven, Hillsboro Shores, Garden Isles, and Old Pompano, as well as nearby municipalities such as Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach, Coconut Creek, Margate, Coral Springs, and Fort Lauderdale.

By using myfloridaapostille.com or our apostille service, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before placing an order.
My Florida Apostille is an independent document service that facilitates apostille processing through the Florida Department of State on behalf of customers. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of State, the U.S. Department of State, or any government agency. We are a private business providing convenience services.
You agree to:
Our standard turnaround is five to seven business days from the moment we receive your documents at our office. This timeline depends on third-party factors outside our control, including FedEx transit times and the Florida Department of State's processing schedule. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, state offices, weather, holidays, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
If the Florida Department of State rejects your document, we will contact you within one business day to discuss options. Some rejections can be resolved same-day at the counter; others require new documents from the issuing agency. Rejections do not entitle you to a refund of the state filing fee or our service fee, because both the fee and the labor have been performed.
Documents shipped via FedEx are insured up to $100 by default. For irreplaceable documents, you may purchase additional FedEx Declared Value coverage at the time of drop-off. We are not liable for loss or damage during transit beyond FedEx's published insurance coverage.
Payment is due at the time of order placement and is processed by Stripe. Refunds are governed by our separate Refund Policy.
All content on myfloridaapostille.com, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is the property of My Florida Apostille and protected by U.S. copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the order in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost opportunities, missed deadlines, or visa application denials.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Leon County, Florida.
We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

We want every customer to be satisfied. Because our service involves third-party fees and irreversible work performed on your behalf, refunds depend on when you cancel.
To request a refund, contact us by:
Include your order number (from your confirmation email) and a brief explanation. We will respond within one business day.
Approved refunds are processed within 5–10 business days to the original payment method. Your bank or card issuer may take additional time to display the refund.
If your documents are damaged or lost in transit by FedEx, FedEx insurance applies (default $100, or up to the Declared Value coverage you purchased). We will work with you to file a FedEx claim. Our service fee is non-refundable in these cases because the loss occurred outside our control.
If you have questions about our refund policy before placing an order, please contact us — we'd rather answer questions upfront than handle refunds later.
