When life events cross international borders—whether you’re applying for dual citizenship, planning an overseas wedding, or handling estate matters abroad—there’s a good chance you’ll need an apostille for your vital records. For Florida residents, that usually means authenticating a birth certificate, death certificate, or other public document issued by the state.

At A Notary On The Go Florida, we specialize in fast, reliable apostille services for Florida birth and death certificates. If you have a Florida vital record your documents will need to be processed through the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee. We streamline the process so you don’t have to travel, wait in long queues, or worry about making costly paperwork errors.

Common Reasons You May Need an Apostille for a Vital Record

Here are some common life situations where you may need an apostille:

• Applying for dual citizenship
• Getting married in another country
• Handling estate or probate matters abroad
• Filing for inheritance in a foreign jurisdiction
• Working or relocating internationally
• Registering a child’s birth overseas
• Enrolling in school in another country

Why Tallahassee Matters

In Florida, only the Secretary of State in Tallahassee is authorized to issue apostilles. That means no matter where you live—Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, or Tampa—you will still need to submit your documents to Tallahassee for processing.

That’s where we come in. Based in Tallahassee, A Notary On The Go Florida is positioned to hand-deliver your documents to the Department of State. This gives us a significant edge in speed and efficiency, helping our clients avoid delays caused by mail services or incorrect paperwork.

What Documents Are Needed to Apostille a Birth or Death Certificate?

To obtain an apostille for a vital record, you must submit:

• A certified copy of the birth or death certificate issued by the Florida Department of Health or the Bureau of Vital Statistics
• A completed Apostille Request Form (we’ll help guide you through it)
• A prepaid return shipping label if you are mailing your documents to us
• Any country-specific instructions, depending on your destination country

Photocopies or hospital-issued certificates are not accepted. Only official certified copies can be apostilled.
