We do both steps. Most online notary platforms only do one.
Notarize, Proof, BlueNotary and NotaryCam will notarize your document online and hand it back to you. You are then still responsible for getting it apostilled — which means finding a second company, in Florida, who can physically walk it into the Department of State in Tallahassee.
Online Florida Apostille does both in one transaction. We perform the Remote Online Notarization, our own Tallahassee ground team hand-delivers the document to the Florida Department of State, we pay the state fee, and we ship the finished apostille back to you. One company, one flat price, one point of contact if anything goes wrong.
60-Second Decision Guide — Is Florida RON Apostille Right for You?
Choose RON apostille if you can answer yes to all four:
- You have a valid U.S. driver license or U.S. state ID from any state
- You have a U.S. Social Security Number with an established U.S. credit history
- Your document needs notarization — not a vital record like a birth certificate
- Your destination country accepts electronically notarized apostilles
If yes to all, RON is your fastest path: apostilled next business day, delivered in 3 business days, $299 flat, no shipping originals. If no to any, call (954) 999-4933 or text (850) 900-2203 and we will point you to the right service.
Already have a digital or court-certified document? If it is already validly certified electronically — a court record or similar digital original — you do not need a RON session at all. Email it to us and we apostille it for $199. See Email Us Your Document.
What Is a Florida RON Apostille?
Remote Online Notarization is fully authorized under Florida Statute 117.265, enacted in 2020. RON-notarized documents carry identical legal weight to wet-ink notarizations and are accepted by the Florida Department of State for apostille authentication. See also notarized vs. apostilled.
How Long a Florida Apostille Really Takes
In current practice, apostille requests filed at the Florida Department of State are completed the next business day after drop-off, even though same-day walk-in service is officially available. This affects every apostille company in Florida, not just us. Many competitors have not updated their websites to reflect it.
Our RON service is built around that rule. Because your document is notarized electronically, there is no inbound shipping step at all: your apostille is obtained the next business day after your RON session, and the only remaining time is the courier run back to you — 3 business days in total to a U.S. address.
RON Apostille vs. Traditional Mail-In Florida Apostille
| Stage | Standard Mail-In | RON Apostille |
|---|---|---|
| Notarization | Mail original plus ID copy | Online video session, about 15 minutes |
| Inbound shipping | FedEx 2-day to our office | None — eliminated entirely |
| Tallahassee submission | After your document reaches us | Same day as your RON session |
| State authentication | Next business day after submission | Next business day after submission |
| Return shipping | FedEx 2-day, included | Overnight FedEx, included |
| Typical total | 6 business days from the day you ship to us | 3 business days from your RON session |
| Price | $199 flat, all-inclusive | $299 flat, all-inclusive |

How It Works, Step by Step
Step 1 — Complete your RON notarization online
Connect securely with a commissioned Florida notary via a state-approved audiovisual platform. Your document is notarized electronically in minutes — no travel, no mailing of originals. You can participate from anywhere in the United States or internationally, provided you meet the identity verification requirements below.
Step 2 — Same-day submission to Tallahassee
Because your document is notarized electronically, we eliminate the inbound shipping day entirely. Your notarized document is submitted in person to the Florida Department of State Apostille Division the same day it is notarized.
Step 3 — Next-business-day apostille
Our Tallahassee ground team collects your completed, state-authenticated apostille the next business day. This is the fastest legally compliant turnaround available under Florida current third-party apostille rules.
Step 4 — Overnight FedEx delivery
Your apostilled document ships via Overnight FedEx the same day it is picked up, and we email you a digital copy. Most U.S. clients receive their completed apostille within 3 business days of their RON session.
Do You Qualify? Identity Verification Requirements
Florida RON statute requires Knowledge-Based Authentication, a legally required identity verification step completed before notarization begins. It uses your U.S. Social Security Number and credit history to generate five personal challenge questions that only you can answer. No notary or apostille service can waive it.
Required 1 — U.S. driver license or state ID, front and back
You must upload both the front and back of a current, unexpired U.S. driver license or state-issued photo ID from any U.S. state. Expired IDs, paper temporary IDs and non-U.S. identification are not accepted by Florida RON system.
Required 2 — U.S. Social Security Number with established credit history
The KBA system uses your credit file to generate five personal challenge questions — addresses you have lived at, accounts you have held. Without an established credit history on file, the system cannot generate enough verifiable questions and the session cannot proceed. New U.S. residents and applicants without prior U.S. credit activity typically cannot pass KBA.
Do not have a U.S. SSN, U.S. driver license, or established credit history? We may have alternative pathways depending on your circumstances. Call (954) 999-4933, text (850) 900-2203, or email OnlineFloridaApostille@gmail.com to discuss options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get a Florida apostille with RON?
Your apostille is obtained the next business day after your RON session. Most U.S. clients receive the finished document within 3 business days: submitted the same day as notarization, apostilled the next business day, shipped Overnight FedEx the same day it is picked up. International deliveries take slightly longer in transit.
How much does a Florida RON apostille cost?
$299 flat for the first document, including the RON session, the Florida state apostille fee and Overnight FedEx anywhere in the lower 48 states. Each additional document is $100. Delivery outside the United States is billed at cost in addition, quoted and confirmed before we process anything.
Do I have to pay extra to ship my apostille to another country?
Yes. The $299 covers Overnight FedEx anywhere in the lower 48 states. If your finished apostille needs to go to an address outside the United States, FedEx International Priority is billed at cost on top of the $299. We tell you the exact amount before you pay and never add it silently at checkout.
Can I just email you my document instead?
If your document is already validly certified in electronic form, such as an electronically certified court record, then yes. There is nothing to notarize, so no RON session is needed. Email it to us and we apostille it for $199, obtained the next business day, plus return shipping time.
Why do I need a U.S. SSN for Florida RON notarization?
Florida RON statute mandates Knowledge-Based Authentication, which uses your U.S. Social Security Number to generate five personal identity challenge questions from your credit file. This is set by Florida law and cannot be waived. If you do not have a U.S. SSN, call or text us to discuss your options.
Can I use Florida RON apostille from outside the United States?
Yes, from anywhere in the world, provided you have a valid U.S. driver license or state ID, a U.S. SSN with established U.S. credit history, and a stable internet connection. The requirement is that you are a U.S. person with a U.S. credit file, not that you are physically in the United States. Confirm your destination country accepts electronically notarized apostilles before ordering.
I am in Asia and your hours do not work for me. Can you still help?
Yes. Text us at (850) 900-2203 and we will arrange a RON session outside our posted Eastern Time hours. Text is the most reliable way to reach us from a distant time zone.
Do I need to be physically in Florida?
No. Remote Online Notarization can be performed from anywhere in the world. The notary must be commissioned in Florida, but the signer can be located in any U.S. state or internationally, as long as the identity verification requirements are met.
What happened to same-day Florida apostille service?
The Florida Department of State permanently ended same-day third-party apostille pickup in 2025. All providers must now drop off documents one day and collect them the next business day. Our RON service still delivers in 3 business days total, far faster than any mail-in alternative.
Is Florida RON notarization legally valid?
Yes. Fully authorized under Florida Statute 117.265, enacted in 2020. RON-notarized documents carry identical legal weight to wet-ink notarizations and are fully accepted by the Florida Department of State for apostille authentication.
Can a birth certificate be RON apostilled in Florida?
No. Government-issued vital records do not require notarization and cannot use RON. These follow our standard apostille pathway. See our Florida Birth Certificate Apostille Guide.
