Florida apostille for Peru
Peru is a frequent destination for Miami and Orlando families updating RENIEC records or sending a POA for property in Lima, Arequipa, or Trujillo.
Does Peru take a Florida stamp?
Yes. Offices in Peru accept the Florida foreign-use stamp (apostille) on a document that was issued in Florida or notarized by a Florida notary.
Peru is a frequent destination for Miami and Orlando families updating RENIEC records or sending a POA for property in Lima, Arequipa, or Trujillo.
A Florida notary must complete the POA before we can apostille it. Out-of-state notarization cannot be fixed in Tallahassee.

Who actually stamps the document
The embassy of Peru does not add this stamp to a Florida document. The Florida Department of State in Tallahassee does.
If Peru asks for a translation, get the Florida stamp first, then translate. Translating first is usually the wrong order.
How to order from Florida
On the order form, pick the document and choose Peru as the destination. Upload a photo or scan. Pay. Ship the original. We review it, take it to the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee, and send it back with tracking.
Standard filing is $125. Rush is $199. Florida state fees are added on the order: $10 per document, or $20 if a county clerk certified it. See prices.
Documents we file most often for Peru
Families and firms sending files to Peru usually start with a Florida birth certificate, a Florida marriage certificate, a power of attorney, or a Florida school record. Court documents need the county clerk first. See every document type.
If you are in Peru right now
You can still file a Florida document. Ship the certified original to our Tallahassee desk. If you still need a notary on a new statement, it must be a Florida video notary — not a local notary in Peru. Download the True and Correct Copy PDF if that is the form you were told to use.
Mistakes we stop before you ship
Photocopies. Church marriage booklets. Court website printouts. FBI reports sent as if Florida could stamp them. And paying for a Florida stamp when the country does not take it.

Questions people ask
Will Peru accept a Florida apostille?
Yes, on a Florida-issued or Florida-notarized original. Not on a photocopy. Read this page and the document checklist.
Can I email a scan to Peru instead of the original stamp?
Most offices in Peru want the original document with the stamp attached. Ask the office that requested it. We ship the original back to you.
Do I translate first?
Usually no. Get the Florida stamp on the original document, then translate. Ask the office in Peru if they want it the other way.
Can a notary in Peru sign the document for Florida?
No. Florida only authenticates a Florida notary or a Florida agency. If you are in Peru and still need a notary, use a Florida video notary.
How long does it take?
After we have the original, standard is about 3–5 business days. Rush is the next business day we can drop it. Shipping from Peru to us is extra time on the way in.
What does it cost?
$125 standard, $199 rush, for the first document. Prices. Email help@floridafastapostille.com.
