An apostille is a form that is attached to your document and certifies the authenticity of the signatures and seals.
Members of the Hague Convention of 1961 established a uniform process of confirming the authenticity of documents. Countries belonging to this convention accept the apostille, while non-member countries require documents to follow the embassy legalization process.

We offer Florida Apostille Services for Personal and Business Documents.
Whether you need an apostille for personal or business documents, we can help. Situations that may require authentication for personal documents are: marriage, buying property, and attending school overseas. If you are looking to do business in other countries, it is quite common to obtain an apostille or embassy legalization for your documents.
Some common personal documents that require an apostille are:
- Birth certificate
- Death certificate
- Passport
- School records
Some common business documents that require an apostille are:
- Hiring information
- Articles of Incorporation
- Business license and permit
We can also help you determine if you need to contact the Florida Secretary of State to apply for the apostille or when to work with the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Did you know… you must obtain a separate apostille for each required document – there is no way for one apostille to authenticate several documents at once.
Many people who try to get an apostille or embassy legalization on their own become frustrated and often have the application rejected or denied. But we have worked with Florida and federal offices to quickly and successfully obtain an apostille.
