Apostille, Notary & Translation Services at 101 North Monroe Street — Capitol District, Tallahassee
Suite 800 at 101 N Monroe St looks out over the Capitol complex, in the blocks where Florida’s state agencies, licensing boards and corporate registry all sit. This is our filing office: expedited Florida apostilles lodged by hand, plus federal apostilles, notary services and certified translation. If you live anywhere else in Florida, your document already has to come to this city — send it to us instead of to a queue.
Mail It to the Capital, Not Into a Queue
Someone in Naples, Pensacola or Key West has exactly one option for a Florida apostille: the document travels to Tallahassee. The usual version of that story is a padded envelope, a tracking number and a three-week silence. The version we offer is an address in the Capitol district, a person who opens it, and a filing walked across the street the day it is ready.
The Capitol-district address also matters for a particular kind of paperwork — corporate registry records, licensing board certifications, state agency letters. Those are issued within a few blocks of Suite 800, which keeps the whole sequence inside one small area instead of spread across a state 800 miles wide.

Statewide Mail-In Filing
Send originals from any of Florida’s 67 counties — or from out of state entirely. Documents are logged on arrival, checked, and filed in person rather than joining the state’s inbound mail pile.
Corporate Registry Records
Certificates of status, articles of incorporation and organization, amendments, mergers and fictitious name filings — pulled and authenticated for use by a foreign registry, bank or commercial partner.
Professional Licenses
Nursing, medical, engineering, teaching, real estate and contractor credentials verified by the issuing board and authenticated for licensure or employment in another country.
Academic Records
Diplomas and sealed transcripts from Florida universities and colleges, prepared for graduate admission, teaching posts and credential evaluation overseas.
Federal Apostille
FBI reports, N-550 and N-560 certificates, district court records, Form 6166 and discharge papers — handled by our Washington office, since Tallahassee has no authority over federal seals.
Notary & Certified Translation
Signings taken on site, and translations issued with a certificate of accuracy — both produced to match what the state and the receiving country will accept, in the order they need to happen.
What a Mailed Document Actually Goes Through
Most people never see this part, which is why so many self-filed packets come back. A document arriving at Suite 800 is logged, read against the current standards, corrected or supplemented if something is missing, and only then filed. The failure usually happens at step two, long before the state is involved at all.

The Difference Between Posting It and Filing It
A packet mailed to a state agency has nobody looking after it. A packet mailed to us has four things working in its favour.
- A person opens it the day it lands Not a mailroom and not a batch queue. If something is wrong with the document, you hear about it within a day instead of after a rejection.
- Missing pieces get fixed, not returned A certification that needs renewing, a seal that is not the right one, a copy that was never certified — we chase those down here rather than mailing the problem back to you.
- Everything the state issues is nearby Registry records, licensing certifications and agency letters all originate within a few blocks, so a document that needs one of those first does not restart the clock.
- One office covers both governments Florida filings are lodged here; federal ones go to our Washington team. You send one envelope regardless of what is inside it.
