Apostille Services FAQs
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a form of authentication used for certain public
documents that will be presented in another country that participates
in the Hague Apostille Convention.
How do I know if my document needs an apostille?
Whether you need an apostille depends on the destination country,
document type, and requirements of the organization receiving the
document. When you submit your request, please tell us where the
document will be used so we can review the appropriate process.
Does my document need to be notarized before getting an apostille?
It depends on the document. Some documents require notarization before
authentication, while certified government records such as certain
birth, marriage, and death certificates follow a different process.
We can review your document and explain the appropriate next steps.
Can you help with documents issued outside of Florida?
Yes. Apostilles are generally obtained from the appropriate authority
based on where the document originated. We can assist with determining
the correct process for documents issued in other states.
Can you help with federal documents?
Yes. Certain federal documents follow a federal authentication process
rather than a state apostille process. We can review the type of
document you have and determine the appropriate next steps.
What if the destination country does not accept apostilles?
Documents going to countries that are not part of the Hague Apostille
Convention may require a different authentication or legalization
process. The requirements depend on the destination country and
document type.
How long does the apostille process take?
Processing times vary depending on the document, issuing authority,
destination country, and current government processing times. After
reviewing your request, we can provide more information about the
expected process and timeline.
