An authorization letter must be signed before a Florida notary public to be eligible for apostille authentication.

Apostilled authorization letters enable trusted individuals to act on your behalf in specific international situations without requiring a full power of attorney. They’re commonly used when one parent authorizes the other to make educational decisions, when a property owner authorizes a local representative to collect rent or execute lease agreements, or when a bank customer authorizes account management abroad. Our West Palm Beach team handles all of these scenarios for Palm Beach County clients.
We serve individuals and families throughout West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter, Delray Beach, and all of Palm Beach County. Mobile notary service is available if you cannot visit our West Palm Beach office.
An authorization letter grants limited, specific permission for a defined task, while a power of attorney grants broader legal authority to act on someone's behalf.
