Understanding the Process

Get an Apostille in Florida
for International Document Use

When documents issued in Florida are intended for use in another country, they often require official authentication before they will be accepted by foreign authorities. An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of the signatures, seals, and stamps on your document, allowing it to be legally recognized in participating countries.

For documents issued or notarized in Florida, the apostille is issued by the Florida Secretary of State (located at Florida Secretary of State's primary authentication office). If the destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Florida apostille is typically the only certification required for your documents to be accepted abroad.

Embassy & Consulate Legalization

If your documents will be used in a country that is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, additional authentication may be required. This process, known as document legalization, generally includes certification by the Florida Secretary of State, authentication by the U.S. Department of State, and legalization through the destination country's embassy or consulate. At iPride Notary, Fingerprinting & Apostilles, we handle the entire process for you, ensuring your Florida documents are properly authenticated for international use.

Florida Apostille Requirements

Before your documents can be submitted for an Florida apostille, they must meet the requirements established by the Florida Secretary of State. Reviewing these guidelines before placing your order can help prevent delays and ensure your documents are ready for processing.

  • Issued in Florida: Documents must be issued by an Florida government agency or properly notarized within the State of Florida.
  • Proper Notarization: Private, business, and other non-government-issued documents must be notarized by a currently commissioned Florida Notary Public.
  • Certified Vital Records & Vital Statistics: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce decrees, and other vital statistics records must be original certified copies issued by the appropriate Florida government agency. Photocopies, scanned copies, or altered documents are not eligible for an Florida apostille.
  • Document Condition: Documents must be complete, legible, and free from alterations, correction fluid, erasures, or damage that could affect their authenticity.

Educational Documents: Diplomas, transcripts, and other school records often require additional certification or notarization before they are eligible for an Florida apostille. A school official's signature or institutional seal alone may not satisfy Florida's apostille requirements. If you're unsure whether your education documents are ready for processing, our team will review them and guide you through the necessary steps.

FBI Background Check Apostille Services in Florida

Whether you are relocating, accepting international employment, studying abroad, or applying for dual citizenship, you will likely need an authenticated FBI background check. Since this is a federal document issued by the FBI, it cannot be processed by the Florida Secretary of State. Instead, it must be submitted to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., for authentication.

At iPride Notary, Fingerprinting & Apostilles, we take the stress out of federal legalizations for Florida residents. Our team manages the entire submission process directly with federal authorities, verifying that your background check is correctly formatted and routed to prevent costly delays or rejections.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Florida Apostille Services

Find answers to common questions about document requirements, translations, and turnaround times in Florida.

In Florida, apostilles for state-issued and locally notarized documents are officially issued by the Florida Secretary of State's office.
We process apostilles for all types of personal, educational, corporate, and government-issued documents issued in Florida. This includes birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, diplomas, transcripts, powers of attorney, corporate bylaws, and articles of incorporation.
It depends on the document type. Certified copies of public vital records (such as birth, marriage, and death certificates) issued directly by the state health department do not require notarization. However, private documents such as transcripts, diplomas, powers of attorney, and business agreements must be properly notarized by a licensed notary public before they can receive a Florida apostille.
No. The Florida Secretary of State requires certified original vital records or original notarized documents. Photocopies, scans, or digital copies of vital records are not accepted for apostille processing.
The processing time depends on the speed tier you choose. Our Standard option takes 5 Weeks, while our Rush option takes 7-14 Business Days, and our Express (3-5 Business Days) options are available for urgent requests. You can select the turnaround speed that best fits your deadline during checkout.
Yes! iPride manages the entire process for you - from initial document review and required notarizations to secure submission to the Florida Secretary of State and returning the completed apostille to you. You do not need to deal with any government offices or shipping logistics.
No. Since an FBI background check is a federal document issued by a federal agency, it cannot be processed by the Florida Secretary of State. All federal documents must be sent to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., for authentication.
Yes! iPride provides expedited federal apostille and authentication services. We handle the entire process directly with the U.S. Department of State on behalf of Florida residents, ensuring correct processing and preventing costly delays.
Yes! We have bilingual, Spanish-speaking specialists on our team who can guide you through the notary, fingerprinting, and apostille processes in Spanish. ¡Sí! Contamos con especialistas bilingües que hablan español para asistirle con todos nuestros servicios de notaría, huellas dactilares y apostillas.
Yes. In many jurisdictions, vital records (such as birth, marriage, or death certificates) must be certified copies issued within a specific timeframe (often within the last 1 to 5 years, depending on the state and destination country). Old, photocopied, or laminated certificates are generally rejected by government offices. We can assist you in retrieving a fresh certified copy if needed.
A notary public certifies the identity of the person signing a document to prevent fraud. An apostille is a state or federal certificate that authenticates the notary public's signature, seal, and authority, allowing the notarized document to be legally recognized in another country.
Yes! We offer professional translation services. When presenting a document to a foreign country that does not speak English, the translation itself must often be notarized with a translator's affidavit and then apostilled alongside the original document. iPride can manage the entire translation, notarization, and apostille sequence.
