What Is An Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate provided by a government, verifying the authenticity of a document that has been signed or issued within the same country. In essence, it is an official validation of the document.
Apostilles are necessary for the use of public documents in foreign countries. When someone advises you to obtain an apostille, it means that your documents require this certification to be legally valid in another country.
It’s important to note that an apostille solely confirms the origin of the public record on which it is placed.

FAQs
What is an Apostille?
An apostille is authentication of a public document in a foreign country. A public document is a document issued by an elected or appointed public official or has been notarized. For example, a marriage license, death certificate, school transcript, diploma, vehicle title, adoption records, criminal background checks, court documents, etc.
The apostille certifies the authenticity of the issuing official or notary public’s signature.
The 1961 Hague Convention established the apostille as a form of authentication for its member states.
The Florida Secretary of State is the Competent Authority in Florida. Our Tallahassee notary is located minutes away from the Florida Secretary of state and personally hand delivers all documents for apostille.

Can you get authentications for countries that are not part of the Hague convention?
Yes. You will need to do a couple of extra steps to authenticate your documents:
The document must be properly notarized.
Authentication by the Florida Secretary of State.
Authentication by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC; and
Legalized at the embassy/consulate of the destination country.
Unfortunately, there is no way to expedite or rush a U.S. Department of State authentication. As of March 2023, the average turnaround time is 10-14 weeks. Please plan accordingly.
Will you review my documents before I ship them to you to ensure they get apostille the first time around?
Yes. We always request you send us a scan or picture of your documents prior to you shipping them to us so we can check them. We don’t want to waste any of your time or money so having us check them before shipping to us is always best.
