Powers of attorney, affidavits, travel consents and corporate documents — notarized and apostilled in one pass. $190 per document, 5 business days. Serving Riverview.
This is the broadest category we handle, because it covers anything you sign rather than anything the state issues. A power of attorney letting a relative sell property in Colombia. A single-status affidavit for a wedding in Italy. A consent letter so a child can travel with one parent. A corporate resolution for a subsidiary in Brazil. All of it becomes apostillable the moment a Florida notary signs it.
Because we're Florida-commissioned notaries, the notarisation and the apostille happen in one coordinated pass — you don't go find a notary first and then come to us. We check the wording against what the destination country expects before anything is signed, because a power of attorney that's notarised correctly but drafted wrong is still a wasted trip. Riverview clients can sign at our Westshore office or have us come to them.
The most common document in this category — authorising a relative or lawyer overseas to buy, sell, manage or inherit property on your behalf.
A sworn statement that you are free to marry, required by foreign civil registries before they will issue a marriage licence to a U.S. citizen.
Notarised consent from the non-travelling parent, apostilled so foreign immigration officers will accept it at the border.
Board resolutions, articles of incorporation, certificates of good standing and signing authorities for foreign subsidiaries and cross-border transactions.
Authorisations to open, access or close accounts held overseas, and to act on foreign investment and brokerage matters.
Sworn statements of support, residence, identity, income or relationship required by foreign courts, consulates and government agencies.
Riverview is home to roughly 110,000 people, one of the fastest-growing communities in the Tampa Bay region. Riverview has doubled in size in a generation, and much of that growth is young families and relocating professionals — including a steady flow of military-connected households tied to MacDill. Those are exactly the profiles that need apostilles: children's birth certificates for dual-national passports, marriage certificates for overseas postings, and background checks for international employers.
We serve clients throughout Riverview's neighborhoods including Winthrop, Panther Trace, Summerfield, Boyette and South Fork. Landmarks like Winthrop Town Centre, the Alafia River and the Big Bend corridor put us on familiar ground — this is local service, not a mail-order processor.
From Riverview, our Tampa Westshore office is about 30 minutes away — or skip the drive entirely and book mobile pickup; we come to your home or office. We also handle notarized document apostille work for clients in nearby Brandon, Ruskin and Valrico.
For a signed document, what the Department of State authenticates is the notary's commission — so the notarisation has to be complete and correct. That means a Florida notary's seal, signature, commission number and expiry, the correct notarial wording (acknowledgment or jurat, depending on the document), and the signer present with valid photo identification. Any of those missing and it comes back.
We can notarise and apostille in the same appointment, including remote online notarisation when signers are elsewhere. If the document was already notarised by someone else, we'll apostille it — after checking the notarial certificate, because a surprising number of otherwise fine documents fail on an incomplete acknowledgment. Documents in Spanish or Portuguese are no obstacle. Come to our Westshore office — about 30 minutes from Riverview — or book mobile notarisation and we'll come to you.
Walk in to our Tampa Westshore office or schedule mobile pickup across the Tampa Bay area — 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.

We're at 4830 W Kennedy Blvd, Suite 633K in Tampa's Westshore district — about 30 minutes away from Riverview. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, or book mobile pickup and skip the trip entirely.
Pickup to return runs 5 business days anywhere in our service area — the same in-person filing schedule for every city we cover. Facing a tighter deadline? Call and we'll give you a straight answer about what rush handling can realistically deliver.
Yes — that's the normal way we handle this category. We're Florida-commissioned notaries, so you sign in front of us and the document goes straight into the apostille queue. One appointment, one fee, no hunting for a notary first.
Yes. Spanish and Portuguese documents are routine for us — Tampa Bay generates a constant flow of poderes notariales bound for Latin America and Spain. The notarial certificate itself will be in English, which is what the Department of State authenticates, and that is accepted everywhere.
Yes, provided the notarisation is complete — seal, signature, commission number, expiry date and correct notarial wording. We check it before filing. If something's missing we'll tell you straight away rather than let it get rejected in Tallahassee.
The signer has to appear before the notary — but that can be in person or by remote online notarisation, which Florida law permits. We handle both. Once notarised, the signer's involvement is finished; nobody needs to be present for the apostille itself.
We can't draft it — that's legal work and we're a document handling service, not a law firm. What we can do is review the wording against what the destination country typically expects and flag problems before you sign. Most clients get the draft from the lawyer or relative abroad who needs it.
