The most requested apostille in Palm Beach County — for dual citizenship, foreign marriage, and visa applications. $190 per certificate, 5 business days. Serving Lake Worth Beach with mobile pickup and our nearby West Palm Beach office.
In Lake Worth Beach — home to about 106,000 residents — the need for a birth certificate apostille usually arrives with a deadline attached: a consulate appointment, a visa window, a foreign closing date. No document crosses our desk more often than the birth certificate. Dual citizenship, marriage abroad, work visas, enrolling a child in a foreign school — virtually every international process that asks you to prove who you are begins with an apostilled U.S. birth certificate.
If you were born in Florida, your document routes through the Florida Department of State — but the state only accepts certified copies from the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics or a county health department vital records office. Hospital keepsakes, photocopies, and laminated versions get turned away immediately. We inspect every certificate first, carry it to the Department of State ourselves, and put the apostilled original back in your hands within 5 business days. For Lake Worth 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.
The single most common reason. Italian consulates want an apostilled birth certificate for the applicant plus every ancestor in the direct line.

Getting married overseas? Before issuing a marriage license to a U.S. citizen, most foreign civil registries want to see an apostilled birth certificate.
Ancestry-based citizenship — Polish, Irish, German, Lithuanian, and many more — requires an apostilled birth certificate for each generation in the line.
The standard visa packet for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Korea, Singapore, and most of the EU includes an apostilled birth certificate.
Enrolling a child in school abroad, applying for a dual-national passport, filing a family reunification petition — each one calls for the child's apostilled U.S. birth certificate.
Lake Worth Beach is home to roughly 43,000 residents. Lake Worth Beach is home to one of Florida's largest Guatemalan communities, alongside established Mexican, Haitian, and Finnish-American populations — civil documents bound for Guatemala City and consular paperwork are everyday work here.
We serve clients throughout Lake Worth Beach's neighborhoods including Downtown Lake Worth, College Park, Parrot Cove, Bryant Park, and the Lake Osborne corridor, as well as nearby communities such as Palm Springs, Lantana, and Greenacres. Landmarks like the Lake Worth Beach Casino Building, Bryant Park, and the Lake Avenue downtown strip put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Lake Worth Beach, our West Palm Beach office is about 15 minutes away — or skip the drive entirely and book mobile pickup; we come to your home or office. We also handle birth certificate apostilles for clients in nearby Boca Raton, and Greenacres.
Only a certified copy will be accepted for apostille by the Florida Department of State — meaning one issued by the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville or a county health department vital records office, carrying the registrar's raised or printed seal and an issuing signature. That commemorative hospital certificate, no matter how official it appears, will not qualify.
Born in Palm Beach County but don't have a certified copy? You can order one from the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County's vital records office or online through the state Bureau of Vital Statistics. Born in another state? Your birth certificate must be apostilled by that state's Secretary of State — we can point you to the right office. Born abroad? A Consular Report of Birth Abroad is a federal document requiring U.S. Department of State authentication instead. When your birth certificate is ready, bring it to our office — about 15 minutes from Lake Worth Beach — or book mobile pickup and we'll come to you.
Walk in to our West Palm Beach office or schedule mobile pickup anywhere in Palm Beach County — confirmed within one business hour.
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.

Certain destinations — Spain and Italy in particular — want a certified copy issued recently, usually within the past six to twelve months. If your copy is decades old, order a fresh one before apostilling; tell us where the document is headed and we'll advise.
If it's a certified copy carrying the registrar's seal and signature, generally yes — what the Department of State verifies is the issuing official's signature. Very old certificates signed by officials no longer on record occasionally bounce; a newly issued certified copy fixes that instantly.
Birth certificates are apostilled by whichever state issued them — a New York record goes through New York, a New Jersey record through New Jersey. Our service covers Florida-issued documents, and if yours is from another state we'll point you to the exact office to contact.
The apostille certificate itself is a standardized multilingual form — but plenty of countries still want a certified translation of the birth certificate for local use. Translations are something we coordinate all the time; mention it when you book.
Yes — the process is exactly the same, and either parent can request it. Children's certificates are among the requests we see most, usually for dual-national passports and foreign school enrollment.
