Florida documentDocument + attached apostille
Illustrative sample. The real apostille is issued by the Department of State, with its own format, seal and signature.
Let's clear this up. An apostille is an official certificate that makes another Hague Convention country recognize your document. It is issued by the official authority (the state or the federal government), not by Traducasa. We take care of the whole process as part of your translation order: we check what your case needs and deliver your apostilled document. Important: we only handle apostilles on orders that include a Traducasa translation. If the destination country is not part of the convention, a consular legalization is needed, and we quote that separately.
Who it is for
For anyone who will use a document we translate in another country: certificates, diplomas, court rulings, powers of attorney or background checks. Also for families handling paperwork in their home country from here.
What’s included
- A check that your document is in the form the state requires
- The whole apostille process, start to finish
- Follow-up until it's ready
- Return of your apostilled document (pickup in Doral by appointment or mail)
- A clear estimated date
What’s not included
- Apostilles on documents that are not part of a Traducasa translation order.
- The official state fee, paid separately (10 USD per document in Florida; 20 USD if certified by a Clerk of Court).
- Getting certified copies of your records: those are requested from the office that issued them; we tell you how.
- Legal advice or any guarantee that the other country's office will accept your filing.
How your investment is calculated
It has two parts: our fee, 125 USD for the first document and 75 USD for each additional one, plus the Florida state fee, 10 USD per document (20 USD if certified by a Clerk of Court). Example: 2 Florida birth certificates = 125 + 75 + 2 × 10 = 220 USD. Return shipping, if you don't pick up in Doral, and documents from other states or consular legalization are quoted separately. The price we give you is the price you pay.
You can add: Certified translation of official documents | Notarization | Return mail within the US (15 USD, or 25 USD with tracking) | International shipping (quoted) | Consular legalization (quoted)

Payment
We accept several payment methods:
Zelle · Venmo · Cash App · card · bank transfer · cash by appointment at our Doral office
You pay from your traducasa.com account once you have approved the price.
Jobs under 300 USD are paid in full when you approve the quote. Projects of 300 USD or more: 50% to start and 50% on delivery. The state fee is paid together with our fee, because we pay it to the state on your behalf.
Guarantee and refunds
Service guarantee: if an office objects to the translation because of a mistake on our part, we fix it at no cost and deliver it again, within 90 days of delivery. If USCIS or another office still does not accept it because of a mistake of ours, we refund what you paid for that document.
Refund policy, depending on timing:
- Before we start working on your document: 100% refund.
- Work started but not delivered: we refund the part not yet worked on.
- Work delivered: we fix any mistake of ours at no cost; the refund applies only in the case above.
- Official fees and shipping already paid to third parties cannot be recovered.
Your documents and your data are always handled with full confidentiality.
