Apostille for Olympic Nationality Change

What does the IOC require for a nationality change?

The IOC requires apostilled proof of new citizenship, renunciation of prior nationality (if applicable), and a waiting period of three years unless waived by both national Olympic committees.

Can you apostille a renunciation of nationality?

If the renunciation document was issued by a U.S. court or government agency, we can obtain the appropriate apostille. Foreign-issued renunciations require apostille from the issuing country.

How long does the apostille process take for Olympic documents?

Florida-issued documents are ready same day. Federal documents take 3-5 business days. We recommend starting the process at least 6 months before the qualifying deadline.

Do you work with athletes outside Florida?

Yes. We accept documents by mail or overnight courier from athletes anywhere in the U.S. and return apostilled documents via FedEx.
