Florida Apostille FAQ
What is an apostille?
An apostille is an official government-issued certificate that is appended to documents so that they will be recognized when presented in countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention. These documents can include any vital records, vehicle titles, certificates of incorporation and origin, and academic records.
How to apostille documents in Florida?
Documents can only be apostilled by the Florida Secretary of State for use in foreign countries that are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention. All documents issued for countries not party to the Hague Convention must be certified rather than apostilled.
Within the United States or any of its territories, apostilles are not mandatory. It means that the Secretary of State of Florida will not issue an apostille for use in American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Florida Secretary of State charges $1 per document. Documents can have several pages.
