Who issues apostilles

It looks like you’ve provided a clear summary of the process for obtaining an apostille in Florida. To reiterate, here are the key points:

1. Issuing Authority: The Florida Department of State, specifically the Division of Corporations, issues apostilles.
2. Eligibility: Apostilles are used for documents intended for use in countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention of 1961.
3. Process:
   • Submit the document to the Division of Corporations for certification.
   • You can submit documents in person, by mail, or through expedited services (such as through a third-party service like VisaDC).
4. Result: Once processed, the Department of State will authenticate the document and attach an apostille, making it legally valid for international use in Hague Convention countries.

How much does an Apostille cost

In Florida, the fees for obtaining an apostille are as follows:

1. Apostille Fee: $98.00
2. Certificate Fee: $10.00 or $20.00 (for the certificate of authenticity)
3. Notary Fee: $5.00 (if a notarized document is required)

So, if you are submitting a notarized document, the total cost for an apostille would be $113.00 ($98.00 for the apostille + $10.00 for the certificate + $5.00 for notary services).

These fees are subject to change, so it’s always a good idea to check the Florida Department of State’s official website for the most current rates before submitting your request.

Florida Apostille or Authentication

May I send my federal documents to your office to be authenticated?

No. Federal documents are not authenticated at the state level. Please get in touch with the United States Department of State Authentications Office.

Could you send my document to a third party by your office after it has been authenticated?

Yes. Documents may be directed to a third party when the sender encloses a pre-addressed, pre-paid carrier envelope when mailing the documents to our office for authentication. Any documents received without a paid return envelope will be delivered to the original sender via the United States Postal Service.
