Our price is $220 per document — and that's the all-in price, with the state filing fee, in-person filing, and FedEx return shipping included. Apostilling more than one document at a time costs less per document: $380 for two ($190 each), and $160 each for three or more.
People often ask why the price is $220 when the Florida Department of State charges only $10 for the apostille itself. The honest answer: the $10 state fee is just one line item. What you're paying for is everything around it — in-person filing that turns 5–7 weeks into 5–7 days, document review that prevents costly rejections, return shipping, and handling the entire process so you never touch it.
Below is the real breakdown of what it costs to do it yourself versus what's included in our flat rate.
The net cash difference is about $187.60 — that's what you pay to skip 5–7 weeks of waiting, an hour of errands, and the risk of losing your fee to a rejected submission.
The $10 Florida Department of State apostille fee is included — no separate charge, no surprises at the end.
We hand-deliver your document to the FL DOS apostille counter in Tallahassee, turning the 5–7 week mail-in queue into 5–7 business days.
We check your document before filing — right copy type, notarization, freshness — to prevent the rejections that cost DIY filers weeks.
FedEx return shipping of your finished apostille is included. For online orders, FedEx emails you a prepaid label to send your document in once we've reviewed it.
Multiple documents cost less each: $380 for two ($190 each), $160 each for three or more — common for citizenship and estate filings.
$220 per document covers the apostille or authentication — state fee, application and U.S. shipping. Certified copies and notarization are not included (see below).
To be completely straight with you: these are costs that can come before or after the apostille, and they are not part of our price.
Whatever the issuing office charges for a certified copy or certificate — Vital Statistics or VitalChek, the Clerk of Court, the Division of Corporations (Sunbiz), FDLE, a sheriff's office — is paid separately. Order the document first; we apostille it.
Not included in the apostille price. Online notarization is $40 for the first document ($10 notarization fee + $30 technology platform fee) and $20 for each additional one. In-office notarization at an in-person appointment in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa or Clearwater is charged separately.
When a country needs a translation, it is usually certified by the translator, notarized and apostilled. The translator's fee is separate, and the apostilled translation counts as its own document at our regular price.
Return shipping inside the U.S. is included. Shipping your finished documents to another country is a flat $100 per order, by tracked international shipping.
For non-Hague countries we obtain the Florida authentication certificate. The U.S. Department of State authentication and the embassy legalization that follow are not handled by us.
$220 per document — form completion, state filing fee, in-person filing, return shipping all included. 5–7 business days.

My Florida Apostille ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use myfloridaapostille.com or our apostille service, how we use it, and what choices you have.
When you place an order, we collect: your name, email address, phone number, return shipping address, the type and number of documents you're ordering, the destination country, and any notes you include with your order. We also receive payment information indirectly through Stripe, our payment processor — we never see or store your full card number.
When you visit our website, we collect standard analytics data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs. This data is used to improve the site and is not tied to your personal identity.
We share your information only with the third-party service providers necessary to fulfill your order:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with marketers or advertisers.
You ship physical documents to our office for processing. We treat your original documents as confidential and store them securely until they are filed with the Florida Department of State. We do not retain copies of your documents after the apostille is returned to you.
We retain order records (name, email, order details) for seven years to comply with tax and business record requirements. You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing [email protected], subject to our legal retention obligations.
Our website uses minimal cookies for basic functionality and analytics. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels from third-party ad networks.

By using myfloridaapostille.com or our apostille service, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before placing an order.
My Florida Apostille is an independent document service that facilitates apostille processing through the Florida Department of State on behalf of customers. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of State, the U.S. Department of State, or any government agency. We are a private business providing convenience services.
You agree to:
Our standard turnaround is five to seven business days from the moment we receive your documents at our office. This timeline depends on third-party factors outside our control, including FedEx transit times and the Florida Department of State's processing schedule. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, state offices, weather, holidays, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
If the Florida Department of State rejects your document, we will contact you within one business day to discuss options. Some rejections can be resolved same-day at the counter; others require new documents from the issuing agency. Rejections do not entitle you to a refund of the state filing fee or our service fee, because both the fee and the labor have been performed.
Documents shipped via FedEx are insured up to $100 by default. For irreplaceable documents, you may purchase additional FedEx Declared Value coverage when you hand your envelope to FedEx. We are not liable for loss or damage during transit beyond FedEx's published insurance coverage.
Payment is due at the time of order placement and is processed by Stripe. Refunds are governed by our separate Refund Policy.
All content on myfloridaapostille.com, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is the property of My Florida Apostille and protected by U.S. copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the order in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost opportunities, missed deadlines, or visa application denials.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Leon County, Florida.
We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

We want every customer to be satisfied. Because our service involves third-party fees and irreversible work performed on your behalf, refunds depend on when you cancel.
To request a refund, contact us by:
Include your order number (from your confirmation email) and a brief explanation. We will respond within one business day.
Approved refunds are processed within 5–10 business days to the original payment method. Your bank or card issuer may take additional time to display the refund.
If your documents are damaged or lost in transit by FedEx, FedEx insurance applies (default $100, or up to the Declared Value coverage you purchased). We will work with you to file a FedEx claim. Our service fee is non-refundable in these cases because the loss occurred outside our control.
If you have questions about our refund policy before placing an order, please contact us — we'd rather answer questions upfront than handle refunds later.
