Apostille for Medical License and Diploma

"Who apostilles a medical license or nursing license?"

"Medical and nursing licenses are issued by state licensing boards and must be apostilled by the Secretary of State of the issuing state. If your license was issued in Florida, we apostille it same-day."

"Can I apostille a photocopy of my medical license?"

"No. Most countries require an apostille on an original certified copy or a notarized copy of the license. We can help you obtain a certified copy from the state board and then apostille it."

"Does my medical diploma need to be apostilled separately from my license?"

"Yes. The diploma and the license are separate documents issued by different authorities. The diploma is apostilled by the Secretary of State of the state where your school is located; the license is apostilled by the Secretary of State of the state that issued it."

"How long is an apostilled medical license valid?"

"An apostille itself does not expire, but the underlying document (the license) must be current and in good standing. Most foreign medical councils require the license to be valid at the time of application. We recommend apostilling a recently issued certified copy."
