500 S Australian Ave, Suite 600, in Downtown West Palm Beach. Call and we’ll hold a time — confirmed within one business hour.
The office runs on appointments rather than drop-ins, and the reason is practical: documents are filed in person in Tallahassee, so on filing days there is genuinely nobody at the counter. A reserved time means the trip is never wasted — and it means somebody has already looked at what you are bringing before you set off.
We are at 500 S Australian Ave, Suite 600, in Downtown West Palm Beach just off Okeechobee Boulevard, minutes from I-95 and the Brightline station, with garage parking in the building. No waiting room, no line — a scheduled slot where our full attention is on your documents.
Booking is a two-minute phone call to (561) 475-4757, and we confirm every request within one business hour. Bring the document and photo identification; if it still needs notarizing, bring it unsigned, because a notary has to witness the signature. Most appointments run under fifteen minutes.
A certified copy with the issuing official’s seal. Hospital keepsakes, photocopies and laminated documents cannot be apostilled.
Required if anything needs notarizing. A driver’s license, passport or state ID, unexpired. Foreign passports are accepted.
If it needs a notary, do not sign it beforehand. The notary has to witness the signature for the act to be valid.
Tell us where it’s going. Requirements differ sharply, and non-Hague countries need a different route entirely.
If the receiving authority sent you a checklist, bring it. It settles questions faster than guesswork.
No forms to complete in advance. We fill in the Department of State request form with you at your appointment.
