Commissioned Florida Notary Public · Document Preparers (nonlawyers) · Fully bilingual Spanish · English · In person in Brickell or online (RON)
Florida Notary Public commissioned by the Governor of Florida under Chapter 117 of the Florida Statutes.
Authorized in Florida since January 2020 under Chapter 2019-71: authenticate your identity from any country.
Operating under the Riveros International Business Corp network, with compliance services in the U.S. since 2009.
We coordinate delivery of your certificate by tracked courier to your country of residence.
State bureaus require payment by U.S. banking methods and local identification, and they ship only within the country — while all the official information is in English.
Historical records change custodian. In Florida, marriages before 6 June 1927 are not held by the Bureau of Vital Statistics. They stay with the Clerk of Court of the county that issued the license.
Your country requires proof that no marriage is recorded in the United States. However, there is no centralized federal marriage register here. You have to know which state and county should receive the search request.
A misspelled detail, an unauthenticated identity or the wrong county form sends the application back weeks later — with the search fee already retained by the state.
A U.S. marriage certificate is the vital record that officially documents a marriage celebrated in the United States. It should not be confused with the marriage license, which is the prior permission to marry: the certificate is the record filed after the ceremony. It is a document held exclusively in government custody. Only the agency that keeps the original record may issue certified copies. That agency is the state Bureau of Vital Statistics or the county Clerk of Court. No private official can issue one, and none can certify photocopies of it.
In Florida, marriages celebrated from 6 June 1927 onwards are requested centrally from the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Earlier marriages go to the Clerk of Court of the exact county where the license was issued. Moreover, the United States has no federal marriage register. Each state — and often each county — administers its own files, forms and fees. Our value lies in directing your application to the correct agency and administrative level. We also authenticate your identity when the state requires it, and we handle the process end to end.
Requesting a marriage certificate through standard government channels can look simple if you live in the issuing state and need it for a local procedure. The picture changes drastically when you live outside the United States. It also changes when the certificate is for immigration, visas, registration of the marriage abroad or dual citizenship. A U.S. certified copy, even as an original, has no automatic legal validity outside the national territory.
Notary Public Center is a private entity of Riveros International Business Corp, based in Brickell, Miami. We are not a government agency: we are private specialists in document compliance. We verify your eligibility and the accuracy of your details. Then we prepare and file the application with the correct office. When the jurisdiction requires it, we authenticate your identity by remote online notarization. Finally, we guide you through the international legalization chain until the document reaches your hands. Our involvement prevents the three errors that most often stall these procedures. The first is a discrepancy in the identity evidence that restrictive states demand. The other two are unnotarized sworn declarations and applications sent to the wrong office.
We handle every file under our own working method: a protected four-phase workflow. Encryption protocols and least-privilege access safeguard your Personally Identifiable Information (PII), so no technicality stalls your process.
Before you pay any state fee we analyze your case: we verify that your supporting documents meet the exact thresholds of the target jurisdiction. States such as California require notarized sworn declarations in order to issue authorized copies — we confirm what yours requires before filing.
We file the request for the Certified Copy with the correct Bureau of Vital Statistics or County Clerk. Each county carries its own bureaucratic and historical variations, and we monitor the case with the government until issuance.
Some states ask you to validate your identity through a sworn declaration. Our commissioned Florida Notary Public then performs the act by secure video call, with biometric credential analysis and KBA authentication. The act is valid in all 50 states, from anywhere in the world.
If the certificate will be used outside the U.S., we guide you on the apostille before the relevant Secretary of State. When the destination country is not party to the Hague Convention, we follow the consular authentication chain instead. The final document then travels to your door by tracked courier.
The foundation of our relationship with clients is complete transparency. Unlike agencies that hide real costs behind generic charges, at Notary Public Center we set out the architecture of your investment explicitly. It is made up of two components: the mandatory fees set and collected by government agencies, and our professional fees for expert review, handling and logistical coordination. Each state — and each county — maintains an independent cost structure. The table below shows the items that make up your case. You receive the exact amount of each one in writing in your quote, before we start.
| Charge category | Description of the service or fee |
|---|---|
| Government fees | Official charge collected directly by the state or county for the record search, the issuance of the certified copy and any additional copies. It is a mandatory, non-refundable government fee. |
| Document handling fees | Covers the professional service of Notary Public Center: preliminary file audit, form preparation, filing of the application, continuous follow-up and dedicated bilingual support. |
| Remote Online Notarization (RON) of identity | Applies only if the issuing state requires a notarized sworn identity declaration in order to release the record. Video call session with biometric verification, at a fee regulated by the State of Florida. |
| Apostille handling (optional) | Guidance and processing of international legalization under the Hague Convention before the relevant Secretary of State office (includes the state duties for the procedure). |
| Certified translation (optional) | Certified translation of the issued certificate, when the receiving entity in the destination country requires it, coordinated within the same order. |
| Logistics and international shipping | Secure dispatch of the finished document through trackable international couriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL) to preserve the integrity of the chain of custody into your hands, calculated by destination. |
Procedural legal note: the vast majority of jurisdictions apply a “non-refundable search fee” policy. Sometimes the state processes the application and issues a “No Record Found” certificate. The state still keeps the government fees as compensation for the search time. Our handling fees also cover the time and operational resources the process consumed, whether or not a document appears. Government fees change without notice and vary by state and county. For that reason we do not publish amounts: we confirm the exact, current breakdown of each item in writing in your quote, before you pay anything.
Many Spanish-speaking countries ask their citizens in the U.S. for a “certificate of single status”. The document is required to marry in the country of origin or to register a civil status. The United States does not issue a document under that name. The equivalent is the Certificate of No Record of Marriage. In it, the state or county records custodian certifies the result of a search over a given date range. The statement confirms that no marriage record appears in your name in that jurisdiction. Because there is no centralized federal marriage register, the application must be directed strategically to the states or counties where you have lived. In addition, like the marriage certificate, this document requires an apostille or authentication to be valid abroad — a complete process that we handle from start to finish.
You may live abroad, or in a state other than the one where the marriage took place. Remote Online Notarization (RON) then lets you authenticate your identity and swear your release declaration without travelling. Florida authorized it in January 2020 under Chapter 2019-71. The session runs on encrypted audio and video, with biometric credential analysis, knowledge-based authentication (KBA) and tamper-evident recording. You sign electronically before our Florida Notary Public and your declaration takes immediate legal effect in all 50 states. Afterwards we continue the process with the government on your behalf and coordinate final delivery of the certificate — with apostille guidance if it will be used in your country.
Unlike anonymous internet portals, we offer a tangible multidisciplinary team: compliance officers, signing agents and a Florida Notary Public. Strict protocols of encryption, least-privilege access and limited retention protect your personal information (PII).
We work daily with vital records bureaus and county Clerks of Court. As a result, we know what each jurisdiction requires, where each historical record sits and how to avoid rejections.
We receive clients in person at 175 SW 7th St, Ste 1905, in the heart of Miami's financial district — we are not an anonymous internet portal.
Encrypted sessions with biometric verification and KBA, so you can authenticate your identity from any country in the world.
Fully bilingual service: the process is explained in plain Spanish and the forms are completed in the technical English the government requires. If you need a certified translation of the final certificate, we coordinate that too.
We separate government fees (non-refundable by law) from our professional fees — with a full written quote before we start.
We operate under the Riveros International Business Corp network, with compliance officers, signing agents and a Florida Notary Public subject to State of Florida regulations.

Handling the certificate directly with government agencies usually means navigating English-language interfaces, facing restrictive payment methods, limited or non-existent international shipping options and no Spanish-language support. By engaging us as your document handlers, you outsource all the bureaucratic friction. We audit whether your details are workable and manage the state payments. We resolve identity requirements through remote online notarization. Most critically, we integrate the later legalization — certified translation and apostille — into a single workflow until the document reaches your door. You always keep the right to apply directly to the state, paying only the statutory fees.
The marriage license is the permission the county issues BEFORE the ceremony, authorizing the couple to marry within a set period. The marriage certificate is the official record filed AFTER the ceremony, once the officiant returns the signed license to the county. Legal procedures ask for the certified copy of the marriage certificate. That covers visas, dual citizenship, inheritance and registration of the marriage in another country, and it is the document we handle on this page.
We need the full legal names of both spouses exactly as they were before the marriage, including maiden names where applicable. We also need the date of the ceremony. Finally, we need the precise jurisdiction — city, county and state — where the marriage license was issued. In addition, a high-quality scanned copy of valid official photo identification (passport or driver’s license) to validate your standing as an applicant. With that, we prepare the exact form for your jurisdiction.
Yes, but the procedure varies drastically depending on the year. State offices transfer records to different custodians as they age. In Florida, for example, the Bureau of Vital Statistics handles marriage certificates issued from 6 June 1927 onwards. Earlier marriages go individually to the Clerk of Court of the exact county where the original license was issued. Our team directs the application to the correct agency and administrative level according to the year of your marriage, saving you months of failed attempts.
No. A certified copy issued by a U.S. state has no inherent legal validity before foreign authorities. A country party to the Hague Convention accepts it only with an apostille attached. The Secretary of State of the originating jurisdiction issues that authentication certificate. Our full service takes the newly issued certificate, guides you and handles the apostille before shipping, delivering a document ready for immediate use in the destination country. If the country is not party to the Convention, we handle the required consular authentication chain.
Yes. In the U.S. it is called a Certificate of No Record of Marriage. The records custodian searches a date range and then certifies that no marriage appears in your name in that jurisdiction. Because the United States has no centralized federal marriage register, we direct the application to the relevant states or counties according to your residence history. This certificate also requires an apostille or authentication to be valid abroad — we handle the complete process.
In the vast majority of cases, no. Some issuing states ask you to validate your identity through a notarized sworn declaration. Our Florida Notary Public, authorized for Remote Online Notarization (RON), checks your identity credentials. The act then takes place by secure, encrypted video conference. You therefore meet the U.S. government requirements from your home or office, anywhere in the world. If you prefer to be seen in person, we receive you by appointment in Brickell, Miami.
The cost divides into two parts. The first is the government fee of the issuing state or county, non-refundable by law even if the record never appears. The second is our professional fee for preparation, handling and notarization. Because each jurisdiction maintains its own fee structure and these change without notice, we give you the full written quote — with every item itemized — before we start. There are no hidden fees.
It depends on the issuing state or county, on the processing method (standard or expedited), on whether the certificate requires an apostille and on the shipping option chosen. Each office publishes its own timelines and they vary through the year. When we assess your case, we give you a realistic estimate in writing. We then monitor the application until delivery, with a file review and first reply within 24 business hours.
No, and be wary of anyone who offers to. Only the government agency that holds the original record — the Bureau of Vital Statistics or the Clerk of Court — has authority to issue certified copies of vital records. Our role as a private service is different. We prepare the correct application and authenticate your identity on the forms and sworn declarations the government requires. We then handle the process and coordinate legalization and delivery.
Yes. We obtain marriage certificates from any of the 50 states. Each application goes to the corresponding state bureau or County Clerk. Las Vegas marriages, for example, go to the Clerk of Clark County, Nevada. We identify the office, the form and the exact identity requirements of that jurisdiction before filing.
It depends on the receiving entity. Many civil registries, consulates and courts in Spanish-speaking countries require the U.S. certificate to be presented with a certified translation into Spanish (and some, after the apostille). We confirm with you what the destination entity requires and coordinate the certified translation within the same order, so that you receive the complete package ready to submit.
Yes. The whole service is bilingual. We assist you in Spanish or English by WhatsApp, phone or at our Brickell office. We explain each step in your language and complete the forms in the technical English the government requires.
Yes. The same process of preparation, identity verification and government handling applies to birth certificates, death certificates and other state vital records. Visit our Vital Records hub or write to us on WhatsApp with the document you need.
