Is MK Notary Services authorized to issue apostilles?

No. Under the Hague Convention, only designated Competent Authorities may issue apostilles. In Florida, that is the Florida Department of State (Office of the Secretary of State). MK Notary Services assists with preparation and submission of apostille requests but does not issue apostilles.

Which documents can obtain an apostille?

Many Florida-issued documents may qualify — birth, death, and marriage certificates, court documents, divorce decrees, school transcripts and diplomas, corporate records filed in Florida, and notarized documents. Requirements vary by document type and destination country.

Do vital records need additional documentation?

Yes. Florida vital records must be certified copies issued by the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics and signed by the current State Registrar. Only properly issued certified copies can be submitted for apostille authentication.

How long does the Florida apostille process take?

Processing times are determined by the Florida Department of State. Mail-in processing can exceed 21 days. When documents are submitted locally in Tallahassee, processing may be shorter depending on State volume. MK Notary is located near the Florida Department of State and submits locally for faster processing.

Can you help with translations along with apostilles?

Yes. Some destination countries require certified translations of documents before or after apostille authentication. MK Notary Services provides translation assistance when needed to support international document compliance.

Deborah Jenkins

MK Notary Services was knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. Their professionalism and reliability made the whole process easy. Very Highly recommend.

Stephen Faigenbaum

What can I say, I never met a notary with such competence, profesionalism and humanity.! I had a knotty international problem requiring notarial services and an apostle. Not knoing where to turn I had the good fortune to find Melissa. From the first contact Melissa took charge of the situation and quickly provided a solution. Melissa dissolved what at first appeared an insurmountable problem in a matter of days. I recommend her without reserve!. Don't hesitate!

John Gallant

I had a great experience with MK Notary Services. Their knowledge was impressive, the appointment was fast and efficient, and their honesty and professionalism put me at ease. The mobile notary near me arrived right on time and completed everything quickly. If happiness had a location on Google Maps, it would be here. AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I have used a number of services, and she is HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE any of the other services I have used.

Marilyn Nelson

I am extremely grateful for Melissa of MK Notary Services. Her professionalasim and prompt services are unmatched. She communicates through the entire process. She is polite, funny, reliable, and got my documents returned to me quickly. Great service – I would definitely recommend her, just the best!

Tifini Vega, Notary Public

Thank you so very much for your help notarizing and completing apostilles for a couple of customers I was recently assisting. You were truly a lifesaver! The two adult sons were located in Indiana while I’m based in California and unable to complete online notarizations here, so your support made all the difference. I’m so grateful for your professionalism, responsiveness, and guidance through the entire process — it was such a pleasure working with you! Tifini Vega - Detailed Notary, CA

Adrianne Johnson
