Submit documents for reviewWhat a Florida Apostille Expeditor Does
An apostille expeditor handles the logistics of the apostille process on your behalf. The core value is document review before submission — identifying preparation issues that would cause rejection or delay before they cost you time.
Document review
We review your document to confirm it is the correct type, format, and condition for apostille processing. We identify missing notarization, incorrect certified record formats, and other preparation issues before submission.
Authentication path confirmation
We confirm whether your document requires state-level authentication through the Florida Secretary of State or federal-level authentication through the U.S. Department of State. The two tracks have different requirements and timelines.
Destination country requirements
We confirm the destination country's specific requirements for document format, certified record type, and any additional authentication steps beyond the apostille.
Submission and coordination
We submit your correctly prepared documents to the appropriate government authority and coordinate retrieval. We keep you informed of the status and contact you when the apostille is ready.
Florida Rush Apostille Logistics
For Florida state documents, rush and same-day options may be available when the document is ready and submitted before the daily cutoff. Availability depends on the document type, the issuing authority, and current government capacity.
What affects rush availability: The document must be an original or certified copy — not a photocopy. Notarization must be complete if required. The destination country's requirements must be confirmed in advance. Documents from other states require processing through the issuing state's authentication authority, which adds time.
Federal documents are a separate track. FBI background check reports and other federal documents require apostille processing through the U.S. Department of State. These are not eligible for same-day state-level service and have their own timeline. Learn about FBI apostille processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Florida apostille expeditor do?
A private apostille expeditor reviews your documents before submission, identifies any preparation issues that would cause rejection or delay, determines the correct authentication authority for your document type, and coordinates the apostille process on your behalf. The expeditor does not issue the apostille — that is done by the Florida Secretary of State or, for federal documents, the U.S. Department of State. The expeditor's role is to ensure your documents are correctly prepared and submitted through the right channel.
Is Miami Dade Apostille a government agency?
No. Miami Dade Apostille is a private company that provides apostille expediting and document review services. We are not affiliated with the Florida Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State, or any other government agency. The apostille itself is issued by the appropriate government authority after we submit your correctly prepared documents.
Can you guarantee a specific processing timeline?
No. Processing timelines depend on the government authority that issues the apostille — the Florida Secretary of State for state documents, or the U.S. Department of State for federal documents. We cannot guarantee or control government processing times. We can confirm what options are currently available for your document type and advise on the fastest realistic route based on current conditions.
What types of Florida documents can be apostilled?
Most Florida-issued documents can be apostilled, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce decrees, notarized documents, court documents, corporate documents, and academic records. The specific requirements depend on the document type and the destination country. Submit your document for review and we will confirm the correct process for your situation.
What is the difference between using an expeditor and going directly to the government?
You can submit directly to the Florida Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State without using an expeditor. An expeditor adds value by reviewing your documents before submission to identify preparation issues, advising on the correct document format for your destination country, and managing the logistics of submission and retrieval. This is particularly useful when you have a tight deadline, are unfamiliar with the process, or are handling documents from multiple states or agencies.
