Cost and timing for a affidavit | Florida Fast Apostille

The price people argue about is usually the one we did not hide. Our filing fee is $125 for the first document and $65 for each additional document in that order. Rush filing is $199 and $85. The state line on this document is $10. Return shipping is a separate FedEx quote from Tallahassee to your address. An optional PDF scan is $20 a document, emailed the day the stamp is on the paper. The original still comes back by courier.

That is not a single “$125 includes the state and the shipping” offer. The state fee is the state’s. Shipping is the carrier’s, and it changes with the address. Prices is the page to read before you compare us to a flat number on another site that folded those costs in and then added them again at checkout.

For Peru, paying rush does not change the treaty and it does not translate the document. It means we take a clean original to the counter on the next business day we have it in Tallahassee. Peru is in the Hague Apostille Convention.

A second document in the same envelope is the $65 line, not another $125, as long as it is part of the same order. A affidavit plus a second Florida paper is the usual pair. Each one still needs its own state fee. Each one still has to pass the photo check.

Florida charges $10 for the apostille on this paper. Our filing fee is separate, and so is return shipping. If the clerk has to certify a court paper first, that clerk may charge you separately. That county fee is not our filing fee and not the state’s apostille fee.

From Tallahassee, inbound shipping is yours to buy. Outbound is the FedEx option you pick at checkout. about one business day is a fair planning number for the trip to our desk. Do not leave a consulate appointment on top of the minimum. Add the state day and the ride home.

Upload the photo on the order form before you buy the label. A refusal after you have already shipped is a lost day, not a discount.

Here is the same job as a week in Tallahassee, Leon County, not as a slogan. Monday, you already have the affidavit in your hand, or you are still waiting on the issuer and you do not pretend otherwise. You upload the photo. We either tell you to mail it or tell you what is wrong with it. Tuesday you ship, with the order number on the label. Transit from Tallahassee is about one business day. The paper reaches the desk, we compare it to the photo, and it goes to the Florida Department of State on the next business-day drop.

Peru is in the Hague Apostille Convention. Peru offices usually ask because of a family record, a school file, a company paper, or a power of attorney. When the stamped original is back in Tallahassee, that is the moment a translation can start, if Peru asked for one. It is also the moment a PDF scan matters, if you bought the $20 copy so someone abroad can read the stamp before the courier arrives. The original is still the thing you carry to the appointment.

This week cannot start until the issuer has signed. An affidavit is a sworn statement in front of a Florida notary. Single-status, name, and residency statements are the ones we see most. The notarial certificate should be in English even when the statement itself is in another language.

Can you apostille a affidavit for Peru without a trip to Tallahassee? Yes. You mail the original. We file it. It comes back to Tallahassee with tracking. Peru is in the Hague Apostille Convention.

How long from Tallahassee? Plan about one business day for the original to reach us, a business day at the state for a courier drop, and return shipping. Rush is for when that calendar is already tight and the paper is already clean.

Will Peru accept a photocopy if the apostille is real? No. An incomplete jurat never becomes a stampable original. Get a new certified copy instead of paying twice.

A photo review is a real review. We are not collecting pictures for a gallery. If the picture is dark, crooked, or missing the page with the seal, send another one before you buy a label. The seal page is the page. A beautiful first page with the seal cropped off tells us nothing.

Keep the certified copy flat in the envelope. Folding through an embossed seal cracks it. People then ask if the crack “still counts.” Do not find out. A rigid mailer costs less than a new certificate. Vital records are on security paper that shows a crease forever.

Tell the foreign office the truth about timing. “It is apostilled” means the certificate is attached and you have the original back. It does not mean you paid us this morning. Peru will want to see the paper, not a receipt. If they need an advance look, add the $20 PDF on prices and still wait for the original before you travel.

One Florida document, one state fee, one apostille. There is no family rate at the counter that covers a spouse and a child on a single certificate. If three people need three birth records, that is three certified copies and three stamps. Set the order up that way. Several documents explains the invoice.

If a lawyer, a translator, and a courier are all in the email thread, pick one person to receive our questions. Three replies that contradict each other are how the wrong paper gets shipped. Put that person’s phone on the cover sheet. (855) 261-8500 reaches us during the business day if the thread is stuck.

Do not send gifts, cash, or a second “just in case” photocopy clipped to the original. The extra sheet looks like the document. We have separated them, and we would rather not. Send the original you want stamped and the cover sheet. Make spare copies after the apostille exists so the spare shows the stamp.

Check the destination one last time against the country list. A relative may have said “the embassy” out of habit when the country has taken apostilles for years. Peru is the page that matches this guide. Habit is how people buy embassy legalization they no longer need, or a Florida stamp they cannot use.

When the original comes home, look at the attachment before you celebrate. The certificate should be fastened to the document, the seal visible, the name of the Florida official readable. If a page is missing, call us before you mail it overseas. Fixing a set that is still in Tallahassee is a different problem from fixing one that is already in a consular pouch.
