Most documents must be notarized before they can receive an apostille. However, court-certified documents and certain vital records, such as birth, death, and marriage certificates issued by the appropriate government agency, do not require notarization before submission. If you're unsure, we're happy to help determine what's needed. 

Many types of documents can receive a Florida apostille, including powers of attorney, birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, death certificates, business filings, school records, and other notarized or certified documents.

An apostille is issued for documents that will be used in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. An authentication is issued for documents that will be used in countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention. If you're unsure which one you need, we're happy to help determine the correct process.

Countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles. For a current list of member countries, please visit the official Hague Conference website. 

If your destination country is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, your documents will generally require a Certificate of Authentication issued by the Florida Department of State. Additional legalization by the destination country's embassy or consulate may also be required.
