Why NotaryPrints

Apostille support built to prevent avoidable rejections

An apostille is not a generic stamp that can be added to any photocopy. The correct path depends on who issued the document, whether it must first be notarized, and the country where it will be used. We review those details before the filing begins.

Document pre-check

We inspect the document type, signatures and notarial certificate before submission so common defects are caught early.

Florida filing support

For eligible Florida documents, we coordinate the apostille request with the Florida Department of State and keep the process organized.

Bilingual communication

You can explain the destination, receiving authority and urgency in English or Spanish, with clear next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Apostille Services Tampa — FAQs

Who issues an apostille for a Florida document?

For Florida state and notarized documents, the Florida Department of State is the competent authority for apostilles. Federal documents and documents issued by another state may follow a different path.

Can you apostille a photocopy?

Usually not as an ordinary photocopy. The required form depends on the document type. Public records often need an original certified copy, while privately signed documents may need proper notarization first.

Do I need an apostille for every country?

No. The destination country and the purpose of the document determine whether an apostille, authentication or consular process applies. Tell us the country before filing.

Can you notarize and apostille the same document?

When the document is eligible and a Florida notarization is appropriate, we can coordinate the notarization step and the subsequent Florida apostille process.

Do you provide Spanish support?

Yes. NotaryPrints provides bilingual English/Spanish communication so you can explain exactly how and where the document will be used.
