For remarrying abroad, registering the divorce overseas, and restoring a name. $190 per document, 5 business days. Serving Boca Raton with mobile pickup and our nearby West Palm Beach office.
Every week, divorce decree apostille requests reach us from Boca Raton households and businesses — a city of roughly 184,000 where international paperwork is a fact of daily life. A Florida divorce carries no automatic weight overseas. Remarrying abroad, registering the divorce with a foreign civil registry, restoring a maiden name on a foreign passport, settling property in another country — for most of it, the foreign authority wants the Florida decree with an apostille attached.
Divorce records live with the Clerk of Court in the county where the divorce was finalized. For Palm Beach divorces, that's the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts, and only a certified copy of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage — with the clerk's certification — can be apostilled. We confirm your copy qualifies, file in person at the Florida Department of State, and return the apostilled decree in 5 business days. For Boca Raton residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
Before granting a new marriage license, foreign registries want apostilled proof the prior marriage legally ended.
Italy, Spain, Colombia, Brazil, and others require citizens to register a U.S. divorce back home — and the apostilled decree is where that starts.
To restore a pre-marriage name on a foreign passport or national ID, you'll need the apostilled decree showing the name provision.
Before foreign registries retitle any asset under the property terms of a Florida divorce, they require the apostilled judgment.
Divorce decrees with apostilles are routine requirements in visa and residency files documenting marital history.
International registration or enforcement of custody terms starts with an apostilled Final Judgment containing those provisions.
Boca Raton is home to roughly 98,000 residents. One of South Florida's most international cities, Boca Raton's large Brazilian, Israeli, and Latin American communities — plus a deep bench of residents with property, family, and business interests abroad — generate constant apostille demand: birth certificates for dual citizenship, corporate records for international deals, and powers of attorney for overseas real estate.
We serve clients throughout Boca Raton's neighborhoods including Mizner Park, Boca Del Mar, Boca Pointe, Broken Sound, and East Boca, as well as nearby communities such as Delray Beach, Highland Beach, and Riviera Beach. Landmarks like Mizner Park, Florida Atlantic University, and The Boca Raton resort put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Boca Raton, our West Palm Beach office is about 35 minutes away — or skip the drive entirely and book mobile pickup; we come to your home or office. We also handle divorce decree apostilles for clients in nearby Lake Worth Beach, Greenacres, and West Palm Beach.
The apostille goes on a certified copy of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage from the Clerk of Court in the county that granted the divorce — bearing the clerk's certification stamp and signature. The conformed copy from your attorney, your own file-stamped copy, and any photocopy will all be refused.
With lengthy decrees, remember certification fees run per page — and many foreign registries will take a certified copy of just the judgment's essential pages, though a few (Italy is the classic example) insist on every page. Worth knowing: Florida's Bureau of Vital Statistics also issues a short Report of Divorce that certain countries accept instead of the full decree. We'll help you order exactly what your destination requires and nothing more. When your divorce decree is ready, bring it to our office — about 35 minutes from Boca Raton — 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.
Grab the Apostille and Notarial Certificate Request Form from the Florida Department of State here. There's no need to fill it out ahead of time — we'll complete it with you at pickup.
Yes — mobile pickup covers all of Boca Raton and every Palm Beach County city. Requests before 2 PM are routinely scheduled same-day, and every request gets a confirmed window within one business hour.
We're at 500 S Australian Ave, Suite 600 in West Palm Beach — about 35 minutes from Boca Raton. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week, or book mobile pickup and skip the trip.
Pickup to return runs 5 business days anywhere in the county — the identical in-person filing schedule for every city we serve. Facing a tighter deadline? Call and we'll give you a straight answer about what rush handling can realistically deliver.
From the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts records division — online, by mail, or in person at the courthouse in Boca Raton. Ask specifically for a certified copy of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage.
That depends on where it's going. Plenty of registries take a certified copy of just the final judgment pages; Italy and a handful of others want the entire decree. Name the country and we'll confirm before you pay for pages you don't need.
Sometimes. Florida's Bureau of Vital Statistics issues a one-page Report of Divorce that a number of countries accept for remarriage. We can tell you whether your destination is on that list.
Yes — the certified copy of a divorce judgment is a court record, and either party (or someone they authorize) can order it. Nothing is needed from your ex-spouse: no signature, no cooperation.
Almost always, when the destination doesn't speak English. Since decrees run long, translation is priced per page — and we manage the certified translation and apostille as a single order.
