TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - s4story -- My Florida Apostille is a Florida document-authentication service headquartered in Tallahassee, with its main customer office in West Palm Beach. The company has expanded to 14 locations across the state and introduced flat, all-inclusive pricing for Florida apostilles and authentications. It is also adding two new options: online notarization and international return shipping.

A Florida apostille is issued by the Florida Department of State. It certifies a Florida public document for use in countries that belong to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents that commonly need one include:

• birth, marriage and death certificates
• divorce decrees
• diplomas and transcripts
• FDLE background checks
• notarized powers of attorney

People typically need an apostille for dual citizenship applications, marriages abroad, study and work visas, and property or business matters overseas. Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Italy, Colombia and the Philippines are among the company's most common destination countries.

A statewide footprint

Five offices serve customers by appointment, five days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.:

• West Palm Beach
• Boca Raton
• Fort Lauderdale
• Tampa
• Clearwater

Nine processing and support offices handle orders by phone and online, using prepaid FedEx shipping. That gives customers in those regions local support with no lines and no waiting rooms. They are:

• Tallahassee (headquarters)
• Miami
• Orlando
• Jacksonville
• Naples
• Fort Myers
• Sarasota
• Gainesville
• Panama City Beach

Customers anywhere in the United States can order online for Florida-issued documents.

One price, everything included

My Florida Apostille now charges:

• $220 for one document
• $380 for two documents
• $160 per document for three or more

Pricing includes Florida state fees, application handling, and FedEx shipping to and from anywhere in the U.S. International return delivery is a flat $100. Pricing does not include obtaining certified copies or notarization. Typical processing time is 5–7 business days.

"Most people only need an apostille once, and usually it's while a visa appointment, a wedding abroad or a citizenship deadline is coming up fast," said [Full Name], founder of My Florida Apostille. "They shouldn't have to decode state fees, shipping labels and surprise add-ons on top of that. One price, everything included, and a real person in Florida who answers the phone. That's the whole idea."

New: online notarization

Many documents must be notarized before they can be apostilled, such as powers of attorney, affidavits and travel consent letters. These can now be notarized remotely by a Florida online notary as an add-on to an apostille order. The add-on costs $40 (a $10 notarization fee plus a $30 technology platform fee), and each additional document is $20. After an order is placed, the team contacts the customer to schedule the online notarization session.

Authentication for non-Hague countries

Some countries are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention. For documents going to those countries, My Florida Apostille obtains the Florida authentication certificate at the same price as an apostille. The company completes the Florida step only. Any further U.S. Department of State authentication and embassy legalization are handled separately by the customer.

Before ordering: what causes rejections

The company advises customers to check their documents before ordering:

• Vital records: certified copies issued before 2014 generally must be replaced with a fresh certified copy, which can be ordered through VitalChek.
• Court records: these must be certified by the clerk of court.
• Diplomas and transcripts: these must be notarized by the school.
• FDLE background checks and sheriff clearance letters: these must be notarized when issued.
