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.

Questions
Questions about translations for the Tampa Field Office
- Will a translation from Eagle Translate be accepted here?
- Every certified translation we deliver carries the translator's signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate, which is the certification 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires for a foreign language document filed with USCIS. The officer reviewing your file decides on your evidence, and we do not speak for USCIS.
- Do I file the original document as well as the translation?
- Keep the original. A certified translation is filed alongside the foreign language document rather than in place of it, and it is common to be asked for both. The certificate names the source document it belongs to, so the two can be matched to each other.
- What happens to stamps, seals, and signatures?
- They are not dropped. Stamps, seals, signatures, and reference codes are described in bracketed form at the position they hold in the original, and the page structure is preserved, so a reviewer can set the translation beside the source document and follow it line by line.
- How is terminology from another country's legal system handled?
- A term with no exact United States equivalent is rendered to carry the meaning it has in the system that issued it, rather than swapped for an American term that would change what the document says. Where a term needs explaining, the explanation sits in brackets beside it instead of replacing it.
- A document has been asked for at short notice. How quickly can it be done?
- Certified delivery is 2 to 3 business days. Through 31 December 2026 the upgrade to Premium 1 to 2 business days delivery is applied automatically at the Certified price, so the faster option costs the same as the standard one.
- What does the certificate attest to?
- It attests to the accuracy of the translation. It states in those words that it does not attest to the authenticity of the source document or to the truth of its contents. That boundary is what makes it a certification a reviewer can rely on rather than a claim about your evidence.
