State documents
Vital records, court documents and state notarizations generally follow the competent authority for the state where they originated. Florida has its own accepted-document criteria.
Federal documents
Eligible federal documents use a separate U.S. Department of State process. Consult the federal request instructions for current submission details.
Prepare for the recipient
Confirm country, intended use, certification, translations and deadlines. A private coordinator may assist with preparation and delivery; only the competent public authority issues the apostille.
This is general information. Florida Apostillar is a private document coordination company; the competent authority issues the apostille. Confirm requirements with the receiving institution.
