At Miami Dade Apostille, we make the process easy, secure, and fully compliant with the Hague Apostille Convention.
We handle everything from document preparation and notarization to apostille certification and international shipping.
What Is a Government-Issued Document Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of a public document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This process replaces the need for embassy or consular legalization.
