Frequently Asked Questions About Florida Apostille Services
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document (e.g., birth certificate, court order) so it can be recognized in countries that are members of the Hague Convention.
How long does an apostille take in Florida?
Processing times vary depending on how documents are submitted.
If sent directly to the Florida Secretary of State, apostilles typically take 4–6+ weeks, and often longer due to mailing delays, state processing queues, and rejected documents.
With our service, most apostilles are completed in approximately 10 business days or less. We review your documents before submission and personally deliver them to the state multiple times per week, helping avoid delays and keeping your apostille moving as quickly as possible.
👉 Upload your document for review before sending to avoid delays.

Can I get an apostille the same day in Florida?

Can I apostille a copy of a document?
In some cases, yes — if the copy is properly notarized or certified. We confirm what is acceptable based on your document.
Can I apostille documents from another state?
No. Apostilles must be issued by the state where the document was created.
Can online notarized documents be apostilled?
Yes, if the document was notarized by a Florida-commissioned Remote Online Notary (RON) and meets state requirements.
What countries accept apostilles?
Over 120 countries accept apostilles under the Hague Convention, including Spain, Mexico, Italy, Brazil, France, and Germany.
If your destination country is not included, a different authentication process may be required. We can help confirm the correct option based on your document and destination.
