If you’re dealing with international affairs, your Florida-issued documents may need an apostille. This certification ensures that documents are legally recognized abroad, especially in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
At PGL Mobile Notary & Apostille Services, we help simplify the process. Below, we list the top 5 most common documents that require apostilles in Florida, plus tips for getting them processed correctly.
1. Birth Certificates
Apostilles for birth certificates are frequently requested for:
- Dual citizenship
- International marriage
- Foreign school enrollment
What you need:
A certified copy issued by the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics or a local county office. Note: Photocopies and notarized copies are not accepted.
Be sure to request a certified copy from the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics.
2. Marriage Licenses
Whether you’re applying for a spousal visa or proving your marital status abroad, an apostilled marriage certificate is often essential.
Tips:
- Get a certified copy from the county where you were married.
- It must contain the official seal and signature.
You can order a certified marriage certificate through your local County Clerk’s Office.
3. Diplomas and Transcripts
