How Do I Get An Apostille in Florida?
- Obtain a certified copy of the document you want to apostille. This could be a birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma, or other legal document.
- Take the certified copy to a notary public, who will verify that it is a true and correct copy of the original.
- Get the document authenticated by the Florida Department of State. You can do this in person at their office in Tallahassee, or by mail. If you choose to mail it, make sure to include a cover letter with your contact information and the reason you need the apostille.
- Pay the fee for the apostille. As of 2021, the fee for an apostille in Florida is $10 per document.
- Wait for the Department of State to process your request. This can take several weeks, so be sure to plan ahead.
- Once your document has been apostilled, you can pick it up in person, have it mailed to you, or have it sent directly to the recipient.
Keep in mind that the process for obtaining an apostille may vary depending on the type of document and the country it will be used in. You may want to check with the receiving country’s embassy or consulate for specific requirements.
