State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Florida
Apostilles are issued by the Division of Corporations of the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee, which is the only competent authority authorized to issue notarial and apostille certifications in Florida.
The state fee is 10 dollars per document. Documents certified by a county Clerk of Court cost 20 dollars, covering the apostille and a Certificate of Incumbency.
Requests are handled by mail. Applicants send the request form, original documents, a check or money order in US currency, and a self addressed stamped envelope or prepaid label.
For certified records such as birth certificates, an original certified copy is required. A photocopy is not acceptable.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from Florida applicants. The federal standard is a certified translation with the translator's signed statement of accuracy. Notarization enters the picture in Florida mainly when a document will be apostilled.
A notarized document submitted for a Florida apostille must contain a full notarial statement and the notary public's original signature, stamp, and seal. A photocopy is not acceptable.
Florida has authorized remote online notarization under state law since January 2020, though acceptance of remotely notarized documents varies by receiving office, so confirm before relying on it.
