What is an Apostille?

An apostille is a special certification that verifies the legitimacy of a public document for international use. It confirms that a document issued in one country — such as the United States — is valid and acceptable in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.

Why Apostilles Are Important

Countries that are members of the Hague Convention require documents to carry an apostille stamp to be considered legally valid abroad. Without it, your documents might be rejected or require a complicated legalization process through foreign embassies.

 

Apostilles are commonly required for:

• Dual citizenship applications

• International marriages

• Business formation abroad

• Study abroad and student visas

• Foreign real estate transactions

• International adoptions

Who Issues Apostilles in the U.S.?

In the United States, each Secretary of State is authorized to issue apostilles for documents created or notarized within their state. For example, if your birth certificate is from Florida, the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee must issue the apostille.

 

For federally-issued documents (like FBI background checks or immigration records), the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. handles the apostille.

The Apostille Process Explained

Here’s a simplified version of the apostille process in Florida:

1. Document Review – We verify that your documents are eligible for apostille (they require preparation and notarization first).

2. Preparation – If required, we notarize the document and prepare it for submission.

3. Submission – The documents are sent to the appropriate state or federal agency.

4. Authentication – Once processed, the apostille is attached to your document.a

5. Delivery – We ship or deliver the certified document back to you.
