Florida Apostille Service

An Apostille is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the Secretary of State. The Apostille is attached to your original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic so it will be accepted as valid in another country.

In the United States, all 50 states and the Federal Government (US Department of State – Office of Authentication) can issue an Apostille.

The Apostille Convention provides the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Documents destined for use in these countries and their territories should be certified by one of the officials in the jurisdiction in which the document has been executed. An example would be a birth certificate of a person born in Florida MUST be apostilled in Florida. It cannot be apostilled in another state.

The Apostille Convention requires that all Apostilles be numbered consecutively, with individual numbers applied to each Apostille issued. The recognized standard Apostille contains a seal and 10 mandatory references.

Our services in Florida handle the entire process for you

  • We review your documents in advance to ensure compliance. Currently, more than half of all documents submitted for Apostille in the State of Florida are rejected.  The reasons vary, but the end result is the same; delays in getting your documents authenticated and returned to you. 
  • We fill out all forms required by the Florida Secretary of State, and pay all fees associated with the Authentication. This may seem minor, but we know exactly what the State is looking for, so we complete these forms with meticulous care including every detail.
  • We use USPS as our shipping carrier. We provide tracking numbers for all shipments to/from the Florida Department of State.
