Quick Answer

What Is a Power of Attorney Apostille in Tampa?

A power of attorney apostille in Tampa is the certificate from the Florida Department of State that makes a power of attorney signed in Florida legally valid in another Hague Convention country, such as Colombia, Mexico, Spain or Ecuador. First, a Florida notary public notarizes your signature. Then, the Florida Secretary of State in Tallahassee attaches the apostille. NotaryPrints handles both steps for you, in person across Tampa Bay or online.

Cross-Border Real Estate & Legal Hurdles

Are you closing a real estate or legal transaction in your home country and don't know where to start?

Buying or selling a home, transferring an inheritance, or signing a mortgage from abroad shouldn’t turn into a bureaucratic nightmare. Most Tampa residents face these same three critical roadblocks:

Common Rejection Cause

✕ American notaries don't understand foreign language documents

They notarize the signature without verifying international legal prerequisites, causing the document to be rejected at your country’s consulate or land registry because it lacks Hague Convention compliance.

Risk Avoided with NotaryPrints

Time & Money Lost

✕ Wasted weeks and cancelled consular appointments

Waiting 4 to 8 weeks for scarce consulate slots or taking unpaid days off work to commute to far-away offices during rigid business hours only to find an error on the draft.

Risk Avoided with NotaryPrints

Strict Legal Requirement

✕ Missing State of Florida Apostille

A document notarized in the U.S. has ZERO legal authority overseas without the official Apostille authenticated by the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee.

Risk Avoided with NotaryPrints

“Sold Apartment in Medellín without Leaving Tampa”

“I needed to send a special power of attorney to my brother in Colombia to sell an apartment. At two local American banks and walk-in notaries, they refused because the document was in Spanish. Shirley came to my home in Brandon, reviewed the formatting, notarized it flawlessly, and in 8 days I had the Florida Apostille in my hands. Impeccable service!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About International Powers of Attorney & Apostilles

Clear answers regarding Florida notarial laws, Spanish language execution, and Florida Apostilles.

How do I get a power of attorney apostille in Tampa?

Send NotaryPrints the draft (minuta) prepared by your foreign attorney or notary for a free compliance review. Next, sign it in front of Shirley S. Hillyer, a commissioned Florida notary public, at your home or office in Tampa Bay or online through Remote Online Notarization (RON). After that, we file the document with the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee and deliver the apostilled power of attorney to you or ship it abroad by DHL Express.

Yes. Florida allows Remote Online Notarization (RON), so you can sign your power of attorney from home through a secure audio-video session. Then we process the notarized document with the Florida Department of State to obtain the apostille. This option also works if you are traveling or live outside Tampa Bay.

Yes. As a Florida Commissioned Notary Public, Shirley can verify the signer’s identity and witness the signature on a document written in Spanish, provided that the notarial certificate (acknowledgment or jurat) complies strictly with Chapter 117 of the Florida Statutes. We ensure the notarial certificate is correctly worded so both the Florida Secretary of State and your foreign notary accept it without objection.

Standard processing with the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee typically takes 7 to 10 business days. If you face a strict closing deadline with a bank or title company abroad, we provide expedited priority filing options to significantly accelerate turnaround.

Yes, absolutely. We understand our clients cannot afford to take a day off work or lose income. We coordinate mobile appointments during weekday evenings (up to 8:00 PM) and on Saturdays and Sundays across Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg.

You only need two items: 1) A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (your home country passport, a U.S. Driver’s License, or Florida State ID Card), and 2) The unsigned draft (minuta) of the document provided by your lawyer or notary back home. Do not sign the document beforehand—the signature must take place in our presence.
