Vessel Documentation Apostille
Buying, selling, or registering a vessel internationally requires apostilled US Coast Guard documentation. Miami Dade Apostille handles the apostille of vessel registration certificates, bills of sale, and related maritime documents for international transactions.
USCG Documents That Need Apostille
Common US Coast Guard documents that require apostille for international use include the Certificate of Documentation (USCG Form CG-1270), the Bill of Sale, and the Deletion Certificate. These are federal documents and require a federal apostille from the US Department of State.
Federal Apostille Process
USCG vessel documents are issued by a federal agency and require a federal apostille from the US Department of State. We coordinate the federal apostille process from Miami, which typically takes 5–10 business days.
Foreign Vessel Registration
To register a US vessel in a foreign country or flag it under a foreign registry, the destination country's maritime authority typically requires apostilled USCG documentation. Requirements vary by country and vessel type.
Yacht Crew and Charter Operations
Vessels used for charter operations or crewed by international crew members may also need apostilled crew documents, insurance certificates, and corporate documents. We handle all of these. Call 1-800-631-9171 or WhatsApp us.
