How a Stuart apostille works.

There is no state apostille counter in Stuart or anywhere else in Martin County — only the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee issues them. We hand-carry every Stuart order there and get it back to you in five to seven business days, instead of the five to seven weeks a mailed-in request usually takes.

Most Stuart orders start with a Martin County record: birth and death certificates from the Florida Department of Health in Martin County, and marriage licenses, divorce decrees and court records from the Martin County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. Anything signed in front of a Florida notary — a power of attorney, an affidavit, a single-status letter, a translation — can be apostilled as well.

Prefer to hand your documents to a person? Our nearest appointment office is West Palm Beach, Monday–Friday by appointment.

What to send: the original certified copy or notarized document — the apostille is attached to the paper itself, so a scan won't work — and the name of the country where it will be used. That country decides whether Florida issues an apostille or, outside the Hague Convention, an authentication certificate.

Pricing is the same from Stuart as from anywhere in Florida: $220 per document, $380 for two and $160 each from the third, with the state fee and U.S. return shipping included. Documents for the same country travel together in one envelope; international return is $100 flat per order.

What Stuart customers apostille most.

Retiring or buying abroad

Stuart customers moving to Portugal, Costa Rica, Panama or Mexico need apostilled birth and marriage certificates for residency, and an apostilled power of attorney for any closing they can't attend.

Marriage overseas

A wedding in Italy, Greece or the Caribbean usually asks for an apostilled birth certificate and a notarized single-status affidavit. We can arrange the notarization online.

Work visas abroad

Diplomas, marriage certificates and FDLE background checks for work permits in the UAE, Qatar, Spain, Germany and South Korea.

Two ways to order from Stuart.

Both end the same way: filed in person at the Florida Department of State and back in your hands in 5–7 business days.

Common questions.

Not a state one. Florida apostilles are issued only by the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee, so no office in Martin County can issue one. The closest place to meet us is our West Palm Beach office at 500 S Australian Ave, Suite 6088B, by appointment Monday–Friday. Or order online and skip the drive.
Birth and death certificates: the Florida Department of Health in Martin County, the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville, or VitalChek — the state fee for these is $10. Marriage licenses, divorce decrees, court records and deeds: the Martin County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller — $20 state fee for a clerk-certified copy, or $10 for a marriage certificate ordered from Vital Statistics. Both fees are included in our $220. We don't accept vital records certified before 2014: the signature on file at the Department of State must be the current registrar's, so an older copy needs to be re-ordered first.
