Florida Apostille Cost & Pricing Guide 2026
Understanding Florida apostille pricing before you start helps you avoid surprises and choose the right service tier for your timeline. This guide explains every cost component involved in getting a Florida apostille.
The Three Cost Components of a Florida Apostille
- Florida Department of State fee — a per-document government fee charged for each apostille certificate issued. This fee applies regardless of whether you submit directly or use a professional service.
- Service / processing fee — if you use an expediting service like Online Florida Apostille, this covers in-person agent handling, document review, same-day submission, and administrative support. This is what eliminates the 4–6 week state backlog.
- Shipping costs — both your inbound overnight shipping to our Tallahassee office and return shipping of your apostilled documents. Same-day service requires overnight shipping for guaranteed morning delivery.
Same-Day vs. Standard Florida Apostille Pricing
Same-day processing costs more than standard service because it requires an agent to physically appear at the Florida Department of State, wait in line, and submit your documents for same-business-day processing. For most clients facing international deadlines, same-day service pays for itself by keeping transactions on schedule.
Standard processing (3–5 business days) costs less and is ideal for non-urgent needs.
Multiple Document Pricing
Submitting multiple documents in a single order reduces the per-document cost. If you need to apostille a birth certificate, marriage certificate, and power of attorney for the same international purpose, bundling all three in a single order will cost less per document than submitting each separately.

Volume Pricing for Businesses & Law Firms
Title companies, international law firms, immigration attorneys, and businesses with regular Florida apostille needs qualify for volume pricing including reduced per-document fees, priority same-day scheduling, and dedicated account handling. Call 954-999-4933 to discuss corporate pricing.
What Does DIY Florida Apostille Cost?
If you submit directly to the Florida Department of State without a service provider: you pay the Florida state fee, round-trip overnight shipping, and wait 4–6 weeks. If documents are rejected for improper preparation, you restart the process. For most clients the time value of 4–6 weeks plus rejection risk makes professional expediting the more cost-effective choice overall.
