Florida State Apostille:Fast, legal, and complete apostille service from start to finish

If you’re searching for “Florida state apostille”, you probably need to legalize a document issued in Florida so that it can be used abroad — for immigration, marriage, education, or business purposes. In most cases, that means getting an apostille certificate from the Florida Department of State.

In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about apostilles in Florida, and how Apostille de la Haya can take care of the entire process on your behalf — quickly, legally, and stress-free.

What Is a Florida State Apostille?

An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a document so it can be used in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. If your document was issued in Florida, then the apostille must be processed by the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee.

Common Documents That Need a Florida Apostille

You may need an apostille if you’re planning to use any of the following Florida-issued documents outside the U.S.:

• Birth, marriage, or death certificates
• School transcripts or diplomas
• Powers of attorney
• Affidavits or sworn declarations
• Business or corporate records
• Court or adoption documents

These documents must meet specific requirements before they can be apostilled.

At Apostille de la Haya, we specialize in apostilles for Florida documents. We submit your paperwork directly to the proper state office and ensure that everything meets Florida’s legal standards.

Original Documents or Certified Copies Are Required

To request an apostille in Florida, you must have either:

• The original document, such as a notarized affidavit or diploma
• A certified copy issued by the proper Florida agency (e.g., Vital Records, Clerk of Court)

If you don’t have a certified copy, Apostille de la Haya can help you obtain one as part of our service.
