Palm Beach County apostille and notary services — West Palm Beach office, mobile pickup countywide, in-person filing at the Florida Department of State.
The Florida Department of State's fee is $10 per apostille — a number that misleads if you take it as the price of getting one. Ten dollars buys the certificate itself, delivered by mail, weeks later, with nobody checking whether your document even qualifies. The true cost of doing it yourself is the wait, the rejection risk, and the full restart when a document bounces.
Our pricing is flat and all-inclusive: $190 per document. That covers pre-filing review, notarization coordination when required, in-person filing at the Department of State, the $10 state fee, and return of your apostilled original — walk-in pickup at our West Palm Beach office or local delivery.
Multi-document orders are the norm here — citizenship files need certificates across generations, residency programs want checks on every adult, estates need several certified copies. Two documents: $300 total ($150 apiece). Three or more: $130 per document, applied automatically.
Everything moves as one: a single pickup, a single filing, a single return. On a citizenship file with six or eight vital records, the bundle rate changes the math noticeably.
The most common add-on is certified translation, priced per page by language — vital records are mostly flat-priced and quoted before you commit. Rush handling for hard consulate deadlines gets quoted case by case. And if you still need certified copies (from the Clerk of Courts or the Bureau of Vital Statistics), the issuing office's own fees apply.
What you'll never see: hourly billing, 'expedite fees' appearing after the fact, per-page apostille surcharges, or a pickup total different from the quote. The number we give you is the number you pay.
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.

You can — provided your document unquestionably qualifies, the notarization is flawless, and your schedule can absorb several weeks plus a full restart if it bounces. Our clients are usually up against consulate appointments and visa deadlines where that bet makes no sense.
Yes — $190 covers everything, per document: the state's $10 fee, the filing, the handling, the return.
No — every document is $190, whatever the type. Notarization, when needed, is a small separate service performed on the spot.
Priced per page by language. Standard vital records carry flat pricing; longer documents like divorce decrees get quoted from a photo before you commit.
