How to Apostille a Document in Florida (Step by Step)

If you need to use a Florida document overseas, you’ll likely need an apostille. An apostille certifies your document so it’s legally accepted in another country. Here’s the simple step-by-step:

1️⃣ Get your document notarized (if required). Many personal, business, or legal documents need a notary seal first.
2️⃣ Send it to the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee. This is the only office that issues apostilles in Florida.
3️⃣ Pay the state fee and wait for processing. You can send it by mail, courier, or in person.
4️⃣ Receive your document back with the apostille attached. Now it’s valid for use abroad.
