Powers of attorney, affidavits, authorization letters, corporate documents — we notarize on the spot and apostille in 5 business days. $250 per document. Serving Sunrise from our Fort Lauderdale office, by appointment.
Every week, notarized document apostille requests reach us from Sunrise households and businesses — a city of roughly 97,000 where international paperwork is a fact of daily life. Not every document that needs an apostille is a government record. Powers of attorney for property abroad, single-status affidavits for foreign marriage, travel consent letters for a child flying with one parent, corporate resolutions for an overseas subsidiary — these are private documents, and the route to an apostille runs through a Florida notary first.
This is where we have a structural advantage: we are a notary service. Bring the unsigned document to your appointment at our Fort Lauderdale office and we notarize it correctly for apostille purposes on the spot, then file it in person at the Florida Department of State. One handoff covers both steps. $250 per document, 5 business days. For Sunrise residents, that means one handoff — at your door or at our office — and the apostilled original back in your hands on a defined timeline.
Sworn statements for foreign courts, immigration cases, and civil registries — notarized in Florida, apostilled for use abroad.
Selling, buying, or managing real estate in another country without traveling — the apostilled POA (or procuración/procuração) lets a representative act for you before a foreign notary.
Marrying abroad? Most countries require a notarized, apostilled affidavit that you're free to marry before issuing the license.
Airlines and border authorities require notarized consent when a minor travels internationally with one parent or a guardian — many countries require it apostilled.
Sunrise is home to roughly 97,000 residents. Sunrise's Caribbean and Latin American communities — and the international workforce around the Sawgrass corporate corridor — keep us busy with apostilles for foreign employment, family petitions, and dual citizenship applications.
We serve clients throughout Sunrise's neighborhoods including Sawgrass, Sunrise Lakes, Welleby, New River Estates, and Sunrise Golf Village, as well as nearby communities such as Plantation, Tamarac, Lauderhill, and Weston. Landmarks like Sawgrass Mills, Amerant Bank Arena, and Markham Park put us on familiar ground — this is home-turf service, not a mail-order processor.
From Sunrise, our Fort Lauderdale office is about 20 minutes away — visits by appointment — and appointments are usually available same day or next day. Also serving notarized document apostille clients in nearby Plantation, Weston, Tamarac, and Lauderhill.
Before we schedule anything for Sunrise, this is the part worth reading: The Florida Department of State authenticates the notary's commission — which means the notarization itself has to be flawless. The notarial certificate must be complete and in proper Florida form, the notary's commission current, the seal legible, and the signer identified as Florida law requires. A notarization that's fine for domestic use can still bounce at the apostille counter over a missing venue line or an ambiguous certificate.
Because our notaries handle apostille-bound documents daily, we notarize with the state's checklist in mind — and when the document is destined for a specific country, we format accordingly (Spanish-language POAs for Latin America, dual-column documents, foreign notary requirements layered on top). If your document was already notarized elsewhere, bring it in: we'll review it before filing and re-notarize on the spot if it wouldn't survive review. When your notarized document is ready, bring it to our office — about 20 minutes from Sunrise — appointments usually available same day or next day.
Call us or submit the online request. We lock in your office appointment and confirm it inside one business hour.
Before anything is filed, we verify the seal, the notarization, and what your destination country actually requires — the step that prevents rejections.
A member of our team carries your documents to the Florida Department of State and files them at the counter. Nothing sits in a mail queue.
Five business days later your apostilled originals are ready — collect them at the office or have them delivered locally. You get a call either way.
No hourly rates, no hidden charges, no surprise add-ons. The price you see is the price you pay — including the Florida Department of State filing fee.
All prices include the Florida Department of State filing fee ($10 per document), in-person filing at the Department of State, and full document handling. Notarization available as a separate service when your documents require it.

Because Sunrise is a city whose Caribbean and Latin American families work alongside the international workforce around the Sawgrass corporate corridor, the notarized documents we apostille here are most often bound for Colombia, Jamaica, Venezuela, and Peru. That matters practically: each destination has its own quirks — whether a certified translation is required, whether the receiving registry wants a recently issued copy, and whether the apostille needs to be translated along with the document.
We handle those details as part of the job rather than leaving you to discover them at a consulate window. Tell us the destination country when you call and we’ll confirm exactly what your notarized document needs before anything is filed — including whether a translation should be ordered before or after the apostille, which is the sequencing mistake that costs Sunrise clients the most time.
