Citrus, Hernando, and Levy counties are a one-day ship to Tallahassee. Retirement households send marriage, death, and power-of-attorney documents more than student files.
If the document is a court file — divorce, name change, adoption — the Citrus County clerk has to certify it first. We cannot take a website printout to the state.

Questions people ask
Can the Citrus County clerk add the apostille?
No. The clerk can certify a court copy. Only the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee can add the foreign-use stamp.
Do I have to visit the county seat?
Only if you still need a certified court copy. Once you have that document, you can ship it to us from anywhere in the county.
