Teach English overseas, accept a foreign job, start graduate school abroad. We handle the notarization requirements. $190 per document, back in 5 business days. Serving North Palm Beach with mobile pickup and our nearby West Palm Beach office.
Every week, diploma apostille requests reach us from North Palm Beach households and businesses — a city of roughly 71,000 where international paperwork is a fact of daily life. No foreign employer, university, or licensing board takes a U.S. diploma at face value — they want it apostilled. Education documents also happen to be the most error-prone category in Florida's apostille system, because a diploma isn't a public record: the Florida Department of State won't accept it until it has been correctly notarized first.
This step is where most DIY attempts collapse. Florida requires the registrar or records custodian to sign a sworn statement before a Florida notary confirming the copy is genuine — get it wrong and the state bounces the filing. We know precisely what the state wants, we arrange the notarization when your school hasn't, and we file in person. $190 per document and 5 business days once your paperwork is apostille-ready. For North 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.
Teaching visas for Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, Spain, and the UAE all demand an apostilled diploma — far and away our most frequent diploma request.
Across the Gulf states, Europe, and Asia, employers and visa authorities expect apostilled degrees inside the employment package.
Admission and credential evaluation at foreign universities call for apostilled diplomas and transcripts.
Foreign licensing boards for nurses, engineers, teachers, and accountants require credentials submitted with apostilles.
Foreign equivalency boards — and certain immigration paths — want apostilled academic records before they'll issue an evaluation.
Even a single-semester exchange increasingly comes with a requirement for apostilled transcripts.
North Palm Beach is home to roughly 13,000 residents. North Palm Beach's mix of long-time retirees and international professionals means our requests from the village split between estate documents heading abroad and corporate paperwork for overseas business.
We serve clients throughout North Palm Beach's neighborhoods including the Village core, Old Port Cove, Prosperity Harbor, and the Anchorage, as well as nearby communities such as Lake Park, Palm Beach Gardens, and Juno Beach. Landmarks like the North Palm Beach Country Club, Anchorage Park, and the Earman River waterfront put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From North Palm Beach, our West Palm Beach office is about 20 minutes away — or skip the drive entirely and book mobile pickup; we come to your home or office. We also handle diploma apostilles for clients in nearby Jupiter, Royal Palm Beach, and Palm Springs.
Diplomas and transcripts are private institutional documents, so Florida requires a notarization before apostille. The accepted route: the school's registrar or records custodian signs a notarized statement (before a Florida notary) attesting that the attached copy is a true copy of the original. Many Florida universities — including Palm Beach College, FAU, NSU, and FIU — have registrar offices familiar with this request; sealed official transcripts often carry the registrar's signature that can be notarized on the spot.
If your school is out of state, the notarization generally must happen in the school's state and the apostille comes from that state — with some workarounds we can explain by phone. High school diplomas follow the same pattern through the school district. And if you hit a wall with a registrar, call us: we've untangled this for hundreds of graduates and know the practical routes for Palm Beach-area institutions. When your diploma is ready, bring it to our office — about 20 minutes from North Palm Beach — or book mobile pickup and we'll come to you.

Yes — that's how Florida treats education documents. A school official signs a true-copy statement in front of a Florida notary, and that notarized document is what receives the apostille. We arrange this step as a matter of routine.
Ask the registrar's office for a notarized true-copy certification of the diploma, or an official transcript carrying the registrar's notarized signature — schools process these requests all the time. From there it's ours: review, in-person filing, and your documents back in 5 business days.
As a rule, the notarization and the apostille both have to happen in the school's home state. We'll verify what applies to your case and direct you to the correct office — and if there's a legitimate Florida-side path, we'll say so.
It varies by destination: Korean and Japanese teaching programs generally ask for the diploma, universities and credential evaluators lean toward transcripts, and Gulf-state employers frequently request both. Consult your checklist — or read it to us and we'll decode it.
Yes — same notarized true-copy route, through the school or the school district's records office. Palm Beach County Public Schools' records department processes these requests.
