How much an apostille costs depends on the document and the route, and the price always has 3 parts: the official fee of the authority that issues the apostille, passed on at cost; the service, which is the review and filing; and logistics, which is the shipping. You send a scan and receive an itemized quote, with each part on its own line, so you can see what goes to the government.
That is why there is no single apostille price: the fee changes from state to state, and shipping changes depending on whether the document is digital or on paper.
Key takeaways
- The price has 3 parts: official fee, service and logistics.
- The official fee belongs to the government, is passed on at cost and appears on its own line.
- In Florida, the state fee is US$ 10 per document, or US$ 20 when the document is certified by a Clerk of the Court.
- In Brazil, the fee follows each state’s official table, so it varies.
- One apostille covers one document: three documents means three apostilles.

The 3 parts of the price
| Part | What it is | Who sets it |
|---|---|---|
| Official fee | What the authority charges for the apostille | The government, passed on at cost |
| Service | Document review and filing | Roxo |
| Logistics | Shipping the document and returning it | The route: digital file or paper |
Splitting the three parts has a purpose: you see exactly what is a public fee and what is service, with no bundled total hiding the math.
The official fee: Florida and Brazil
In Florida, apostilles are issued by the Florida Department of State, in Tallahassee. The state fee is US$ 10 per document, or US$ 20 when the document is certified by a Clerk of the Court (US$ 10 for the apostille plus US$ 10 for the certificate of incumbency). These are Florida Department of State figures, checked in September 2026.
In Brazil, the apostille is issued by a registry authorized by the CNJ, and the fee (emolumento) follows each state’s official table. That is why it varies, and it appears on its own line in the quote.
What changes the total
- Where the document was issued: each state has its own fee.
- Whether it needs a Clerk certificate: in Florida, that adds the certificate of incumbency fee.
- Digital or paper: a digital document is sent as a file; paper goes by tracked mail to our address in Windermere, or by an arranged handover.
- How many documents: one apostille per document.
What is not in the quote
We do not handle federal documents, such as FBI records, or consular legalization. Translation, when the destination asks for it, is a separate service with its own quote. And if the apostille is refused because of our mistake, we redo it at no cost: the check before payment exists so that this almost never happens.
