How to Apostille Documents in Texas

Texas documents follow Texas procedures, not Florida’s.

Determine whether the record is from Texas

Texas public records, certified copies and Texas notarized documents have distinct preparation requirements. The Texas Secretary of State’s request instructions explain accepted documents, forms and submission options.

Check the destination country

Ask the recipient whether it requires an apostille under the Hague Convention, another form of authentication, a translation or a particular certified copy.

Submit to the proper authority

Use the current Texas instructions and verify fees and processing before mailing. Florida Apostillar can help coordinate document review, but the Texas authority issues its apostilles.

This is general information. Florida Apostillar is a private document coordination company; the competent authority issues the apostille. Confirm requirements with the receiving institution.
