Tracking the Status of Your Apostille Request
Once you have submitted documents for apostille, the natural next question is: where is my document and when will it be ready? This guide explains how apostille tracking works in Florida and how Miami Dade Apostille keeps clients informed throughout the process.
How Miami Dade Apostille Tracks Your Request
When Miami Dade Apostille submits your document to the Florida Secretary of State or the US Department of State, we track the submission and monitor its status. We notify clients when the apostille has been issued and when the document is on its way back. You do not need to contact the Secretary of State's office directly — we handle that communication on your behalf.
Florida Apostille Verification
Florida has implemented an online apostille verification system. Once a Florida apostille has been issued, the recipient — or the client — can verify its authenticity by entering the apostille's unique identifier on the Florida Department of State's verification portal. This is part of Florida's implementation of the e-APP (electronic Apostille Programme) infrastructure.
The verification portal confirms that the apostille was genuinely issued by the Florida Secretary of State and has not been altered. This is particularly useful when the apostilled document is sent directly to a foreign institution — the institution can verify the apostille independently.
What to Do If Your Document Is Delayed
Processing times at the Secretary of State's office can vary with volume. If your document is taking longer than expected, Miami Dade Apostille follows up with the issuing authority on your behalf. We advise clients on realistic timelines at the time of submission and flag any unusual delays proactively.
Rush and Emergency Options
For urgent requests, Miami Dade Apostille offers 24-hour emergency appointments by request. Call 1-800-631-9171 to discuss your deadline. Rush options at the Secretary of State level may also be available depending on current volume.
Staying Informed
Miami Dade Apostille communicates with clients by phone and WhatsApp throughout the process. If you have a question about your specific submission, call or message us directly — we can give you a current status update on your document.
