Tampa, Florida document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)

Where to print, fax, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Tampa, Florida, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide, countywide or national rather than local. We label those.

Printing, copying, scanning and fax

Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library (HCPLC)

• Prices: computer use is free. You get 10 free black-and-white or 5 free color print/copy pages a day. After that it's $.05 a page for black-and-white and $.10 a page for color. The machines take $1 and $5 bills and 5¢, 10¢ and 25¢ coins ^[1]. Wireless printing uses the same daily free credits and the same $0.05 and $0.10 prices ^[7].
• Scanning: the printer/copiers scan to PDF or JPG, saved only to a USB drive you bring. Scanning is free ^[1].
• Fax (free, outgoing only, limited): limited free faxing is offered at all Tampa-Hillsborough public libraries. Faxes can go only to 813 and 656 area codes or toll-free numbers, up to 5 pages including the cover sheet, and up to five faxes per person per day. The library doesn't accept incoming faxes ^[1].
• Where: the John F. Germany Public Library, the system's flagship, is at 900 N. Ashley Dr., 813-273-3652. Its hours are Monday–Thursday 10 a.m.–9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., closed Sunday ^[8]. The Census Geocoder places it in Tampa city ^[6].

• Hillsborough Clerk: the Clerk's fee schedule lists copies of any instrument in the public record at $1.00 a page (up to 8.5 by 14 inches) or $5.00 a page if larger, and $2.00 to certify a copy ^[9].
• The UPS Store: it lists 27 locations with Tampa addresses. Its city page says its stores offer packing, shipping, printing, shredding, notarizing, faxing and mailbox services ^[10]. The Census Geocoder places these 12 in Tampa city: 107 N 11th St; 503 E Jackson St; 701 S Howard Ave, #106; 301 West Platt St; 2541 N Dale Mabry Hwy; 4532 W Kennedy Blvd; 3690 W Gandy Blvd; 5004 E Fowler Ave, Unit C; 3108 N Boundary Blvd, Bldg 926; 3225 S Macdill Ave, #129; 4030 Henderson Blvd; and 16057 Tampa Palms Blvd W ^[10][6]. It places 11 others in unincorporated Hillsborough County and one (5470 E Busch Blvd) in Temple Terrace, and it didn't match 510 Water St, 505 Water St or 8606 Hunters Village Rd ^[10][6]. Prices aren't listed online: its 107 N 11th St store page shows no prices and says products, services, pricing and hours of operation may vary by location ^[11], so call the store for prices (last checked Nov 3, 2026).

See printing prices and fax prices.

Notary in Tampa

• Hillsborough Clerk: the Clerk's fee schedule lists "Notarizing papers" at $10.00 ^[9]. The State Department's locator data notes "photocopy and notary services" at the Clerk's Downtown Tampa office, 419 Pierce St., Room 140 ^[12]. Call 813-276-8100 before you go ^[13].
• Library: we didn't find notary service on the library's technology or passport pages ^[1][14].
• The UPS Store: its Tampa page lists notarizing ^[10]. Prices aren't listed online; call the store ^[11]. Notary rules vary by state ^[15].
• How notaries are appointed (statewide law): Florida notaries are appointed by the Governor for 4 years. They must be at least 18 and legal residents of Florida, and can act only while they are within the state ^[16].
• Fees (statewide law): a Florida notary may charge no more than $10 per notarial act ^[17]. For an online notarization, the limit is $25 per act; fees for other services, including a remote online notarization (RON) service provider's fees, aren't covered by that limit ^[18]. Witnessing a vote-by-mail ballot is free ^[17].
• ID (statewide law): a notary may rely on an ID that is current or issued within the past 5 years and has a serial or other ID number, such as a Florida ID card or driver's license or a U.S. passport. The law lists other accepted IDs too ^[17].
• Check a notary (statewide): the Florida Department of State has an online Notary Search of commissioned notaries ^[19]. Its Notary Section is at P.O. Box 6327, Tallahassee, FL 32314-6327 ^[19]; phone 850.245.6975 ^[20].

Passports in Tampa

The U.S. Department of State's Passport Acceptance Facility Locator data lists 9 facilities with Tampa addresses. The Census Geocoder places these 5 in Tampa city ^[12][6]:

• Outside the city: the Geocoder places the Ehrlich Branch and Falkenburg Branch post offices and the Town 'N Country Regional Library in unincorporated Hillsborough County. It didn't match the Tampa MOWU post office at 3501 Bessie Coleman Blvd ^[12][6].
• Clerk hours (pages differ): the Clerk's passport page says it accepts applications from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday–Friday, at its three locations (Downtown Tampa, Brandon and Plant City), with no appointment needed but recommended. The same page's video transcript says 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. ^[4]. The Clerk's locations page says walk-ins for passport applications end at 1 PM at the Downtown Tampa office ^[13], and the locator lists 8 a.m.–2:30 p.m. ^[12]. Plan to arrive before 1 p.m., or book an appointment. The Clerk says peak waits are 11 a.m.–2 p.m. ^[21].
• Clerk fees and payment: the $35 acceptance fee and the $15 photo fee (if you need photos) are paid to the Clerk by cash, check, money order or card. Cards carry a 3.5% service fee. The State Department fee is paid separately, by check or money order only ^[4][9]. Questions: 813-276-8100 ext. 7805 ^[4].
• Renewals: the Clerk doesn't process adult renewals ^[4]. It accepts new and renewal applications for children under 18 ^[22].
• Passport Saturdays (upcoming): the Clerk lists Saturday hours, 8 a.m.–2 p.m., on Jan. 30, May 1 and Aug. 28, 2027, at Tampa only. Walk-ins are accepted through 12 p.m.; appointments are recommended. There's no extra charge, and photos are $15 a pair ^[22]. We didn't find any remaining 2026 dates on that page.
• Library (countywide): HCPLC takes passport applications, for new applicants only, at Bloomingdale Regional (Valrico), Jan Kaminis Platt Regional (3910 S. Manhattan Ave.), New Tampa Regional (10001 Cross Creek Blvd.) and Town 'N Country Regional (7606 Paula Dr., Suite 120). Each applicant needs an appointment, except on Fridays, which are walk-in only. All applicants must be present. The $35 execution fee and the $15 photo fee are paid to the library by check or money order ^[14].
• Jan Kaminis Platt Friday hours: the locator data shows "Fri 1:30 a.m.–5 p.m." ^[12]; the library's passport page says Friday 1:30 p.m.–5 p.m. ^[14].
• Post offices: the locator says to book appointments or see more passport times at usps.com/scheduler ^[12].
• Post office fees (national): a $35.00 acceptance fee and a $15.00 photo fee "if needed" ^[23].
• Faster return delivery (national): two official pages list different prices. USPS lists "$22.05—1- to 3- day delivery service for faster return shipping to you from the State Department" ^[23]. The State Department's fee page lists 1–3 business day return delivery at $26.87, for passport books only ^[24]. We couldn't re-read the State Department page on Nov 3, 2026, because it blocked our check. Confirm the fee with the acceptance facility before you pay.

Birth, death, marriage, court and recorded-document copies

Birth and death certificates (Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County)

• Birth certificate fee: $14 for the first copy and $9 for each additional copy, plus $3 for a protective sheath ^[2].
• Death certificate fee: the death certificate page lists $10 for a death certificate and $3 for a protective sheath ^[25]. We didn't find a price for additional copies on that page. This office has Florida deaths from 2009 to the present. For earlier deaths, use the state Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville or VitalChek. Only a family member or legal representative can request the cause of death ^[25].

• In person:
  • Downtown: the birth certificate page says the Downtown office is open Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–4 p.m., closed daily noon–1 p.m. ^[2]. The Main Office at 1105 E. Kennedy Blvd. (813-307-8000) lists birth and death certificates; its Vital Statistics hours show 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday–Thursday and "8 p.m. – 4 p.m." on Friday, closed daily noon–1 p.m. ^[26].

  • St. Joseph's Women's Hospital: the vital statistics office there is open Monday–Friday 8 a.m.–noon ^[2].
• Tax Collector (birth certificates only): the Hillsborough County Tax Collector charges $20.25 for a certified Florida birth certificate ($14.00 state fee plus a $6.25 administrative fee) and $9.00 for each additional copy. Only its Brandon, Downtown, Drew Park, North Tampa, Plant City and Southshore offices offer this. Walk-ins are welcome. It takes cash, checks, money orders, Apple Pay, PayPal, Google Pay and cards; everything except cash, checks and money orders carries a convenience fee. General office hours are 8 a.m.–5 p.m., Wednesdays 9 a.m.–5 p.m. ^[28]. The Downtown office is at 601 E. Kennedy Blvd. ^[2], which the Census Geocoder places in Tampa city ^[6].
• Older records: Florida births before 1930 must be requested from the state Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville ^[2]. Records of Florida marriages before June 6, 1927 come from the Clerk of Court in the county that issued the license ^[29].

Birth and death certificates from the state (statewide)

• State birth certificate fees (statewide): the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics charges $9 for the first computer-generated birth certification, which includes a non-refundable $9 search fee, and $4 for each additional copy. A photocopy certificate is $14 for the first copy and $4 for each additional copy. Rush service is $10 more, and shipping is $1 ^[30].
• Who can get a birth certificate (statewide): births less than 125 years old are confidential. Only the person named (if 18 or older), a parent on the record, a legal guardian, a legal representative or someone with a court order can get one, with a valid photo ID ^[30].
• State death certificate fees (statewide): $5 for a one-year search and one certified copy (the $5 search fee isn't refundable), $4 for each additional copy, $2 for each extra year searched (up to $50), $10 for rush service and $1 for shipping. Records before 2009 need the $10 rush fee for same-day walk-in service, when available ^[31].
• Who can get a death certificate (statewide): anyone 18 or older can get a certified copy without the cause of death. Records less than 50 years old that show the cause of death are confidential and limited to family and others the department lists ^[31].
• State office walk-in (statewide): 1217 N Pearl St., Jacksonville, FL 32202; lobby hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Pay by cash, check, money order, Visa or Mastercard; contactless and tap-to-pay aren't accepted ^[30][31].

• Online (statewide): VitalChek is the only vendor the state contracts with. A birth certificate through VitalChek is $19 for the first copy (including the $9 search fee and $10 rush fee), plus a $7 VitalChek processing fee ^[30].
• County health departments (statewide): they issue Florida birth records from 1917 to the present, and the state says fees vary by county ^[30]. Compare the county fee above.

Marriage licenses (Hillsborough County Clerk of Court & Comptroller)

• Who issues licenses (statewide law): a county court judge or the clerk of the circuit court ^[32].
• Waiting period (statewide law): if you don't give the clerk certificates showing you finished a premarital preparation course, the license takes effect 3 days after you apply. The clerk must make exceptions for people who don't live in Florida and for couples who claim hardship, and a county judge may waive the wait for Florida residents with good cause ^[33].
• Course discount (state law has two figures): the course must be at least 4 hours, and section 741.0305 says it cuts your license fee by $32.50 ^[34]. Section 741.01 says the fee is reduced by $25 for couples with course certificates ^[32]. Check the county fee below for what you'd actually pay.
• Validity (statewide law): a Florida marriage license is valid for 60 days after it's issued ^[35].
• Hillsborough fee: $86.00, nonrefundable, or $61.00 if you complete a premarital preparation course with a registered provider ^[3]. The fee schedule says the $86.00 includes a certified copy of the license ^[9]. If one of you lives in Florida, the waiting period applies ^[3].
• How and payment: online applications require a credit card. In person, you can pay by cash, money order, traveler's check, credit card or personal check; a personal check must have your name and current address printed on it, and you'll need photo ID. Appointments are available at the Brandon, Plant City and Downtown Tampa offices ^[3]. A license is valid for 60 calendar days ^[3].
• Ceremonies: deputy clerks perform ceremonies Monday–Friday during normal hours at Plant City, Brandon and Downtown Tampa, with no appointment required, for $30.00 ^[3]. Those three offices have ceremony spaces ^[36].
• Certified copies: after the marriage is recorded, the first certified copy of a Hillsborough record is free; additional certified copies are $3 each ^[3]. The fee schedule lists a certified copy of a marriage license at $3.00 and a commemorative marriage certificate at $15.00 ^[9].

Recorded documents (Hillsborough County Clerk of Court & Comptroller)

• State base fees (statewide law): state law lists recording fees of $5.00 for the first page and $4.00 for each additional page, and requires additional service charges on top ^[37]. The county total below is what you pay.
• Hillsborough recording fees: $10.00 for the first page and $8.50 for each additional page, plus $1.00 per name after the fourth. A lis pendens is $5.00 for the first page and $4.00 for each additional page. A mail preparation fee is $20.00 ^[9].
• Taxes on deeds (state rates, as the Clerk lists them): documentary stamps are $.70 per $100 of consideration on deeds, and $0.35 per $100 on a promise to pay. Intangible tax is two mills (.002) on mortgage-secured obligations ^[9].
• Witness addresses: since January 1, 2024, certain real property documents need two witnesses, with each witness's name and post office address ^[38].

Court records (Hillsborough County Clerk of Court & Comptroller)

• State fee limits (statewide law): Florida law sets clerk charges of $2.00 for certifying a copy of a court record and $1.00 a page for copies up to 14 by 8½ inches ^[37].
• Hillsborough: the Clerk's fee schedule lists copies of any instrument in the public record at $1.00 a page (up to 8.5 by 14 inches) or $5.00 if larger, and $2.00 to certify ^[9]. We didn't find a separate court-copy price list.

Apostilles and notarial certifications (statewide)

• What it is (statewide): the Florida Secretary of State is the only authority in Florida that issues apostilles and notarial certifications ^[39]. Countries that aren't in the 1961 Hague Convention get a notarial certification instead of an apostille ^[40].
• Fee (statewide): $10.00 per document, or $20.00 per document certified by any Florida county Clerk of the Court ($10 for the apostille and $10 for a certificate of incumbency) ^[39]. State law caps the apostille fee at $10 per apostille ^[41].
• Payment (statewide): a check or money order payable to the Florida Department of State, in U.S. currency from a U.S. bank. Cash and credit cards aren't accepted ^[39].

• Walk-in (statewide): 2415 N. Monroe Street, Suite 810, Tallahassee, Monday through Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m., except state holidays. Most requests can be completed while you wait ^[40].
• Birth, death and marriage records (statewide): birth and death certificates must be signed by the State Registrar, whether issued by the Bureau of Vital Statistics or a county health department. Marriage and divorce certificates must be signed by the State Registrar or the Clerk of the County Courts ^[42].
• Elsewhere (statewide): federal documents go to the U.S. Department of State, and documents from another state go to that state ^[39]. The office doesn't translate, and the translator can't be the notary ^[40].
