An Apostille is a specialized certificate issued by the Florida Secretary of State that authenticates the origin of a public document for international use. It serves as official verification that the signature, seal, or stamp on your document is genuine.
For countries participating in the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, a state-issued Apostille is all that is required for your document to be legally recognized. For non-Hague nations, we facilitate the additional multi-tier authentication and embassy legalization process.
