Apostille Services
in Miami & Miami Beach

No. We offer expedited service only for all Florida document types. This is our company service policy; it is not a statement that Florida law requires customers to buy expedited service.

No blanket replacement rule is stated in Florida’s current acceptance guidance. It checks the State Registrar’s signature was valid when issued. Ken Jones appears in legacy guidance. If your copy is not apostille-ready, request an updated certified copy for apostille use; ask for review if the signature or format is unclear.

You must schedule a consultation first. Processing time, eligible speed, document preparation and fees are confirmed during the consultation.

UAE standard service is $500 with an estimated 10-week processing period. UAE expedited service is $750 with an estimated 3–4-week processing period. Confirm document requirements, shipping and any additional services in the dedicated UAE booking form.

No. Official certified vital records follow the issuing authority’s requirements. Private documents may need notarization. Select your document type before arranging a notary visit.

A photograph can help identify a document, but it does not replace a required certified or wet-ink original. Eligible FBI PDFs and online-notarized documents follow different submission instructions.

Wynwood offers consultations and appointments. Send or deliver physical apostille submissions to 1680 Michigan Ave, Suite 700, Miami Beach, FL 33139.

Service estimates begin once the required complete, acceptable documents and payment have been received. Government processing, corrections, translation and shipping can affect the overall timeline. Confirm timing for your selected service before booking.

International forwarding is available by quote. Confirm the delivery address, courier price and estimated transit time before paying for shipping.

Mixed orders need separate review so each document receives the correct processing and destination instructions. Use the mixed-order route instead of selecting a single-document service.

If documents in an expedited order are lost or stolen while handled by a third party, we will repeat the apostille process for free. The guarantee applies only to expedited orders. It does not guarantee a government deadline or acceptance by a foreign recipient.

All services require the document signer or owner to sign the apostille agreement form before processing. A pricing acknowledgment or website checkbox does not replace the signed agreement.

You may select any listed country or territory. Some destinations require authentication or embassy legalization rather than a standard apostille, and treaty relationships or territory-specific rules must be confirmed before processing.

NYC birth/death records need the long-form certified record, Letter of Exemplification and New York County Clerk certification. Other local or county NY vital records need their county clerk’s certification. Qualifying NYS Health records signed by the NYS Registrar or Director of Vital Statistics are exempt from that county step.

Order from the official state or local vital-record office. VitalChek is an ordering service used by participating agencies; specify apostille or foreign use when available. The order must still meet the issuing state’s certification rules. VitalChek is not itself the apostille-issuing authority.

Use the CDC state-by-state vital-record directory to find the record holder. Requirements vary by document and certifying official; a county-clerk step required in New York is not a universal rule for every state.

Check the signer’s title: a Health Officer/local registrar signature may need county-clerk certification or a fresh copy from a County Recorder or the state health department.

Request a certified copy for Apostille Seal use from the state vital-record office, with the original State Registrar or Assistant/Deputy Registrar signature. An informational certification is not equivalent.

Request a certified record and state Apostille as its purpose. The Texas Secretary of State, not the vital-record office, issues the apostille.

Use a certified record with the proper signature and seal. GSCCCA recommends replacing records issued before 2000 because older signatures may not be on file.

Use an official certified copy from the county clerk, local registrar or Illinois Department of Public Health. Do not substitute a privately notarized photocopy.

Death certificates need the State Registrar’s signature; marriage certificates need the Register of Wills or Clerk of Orphans’ Court signature. County documents signed by assistant/deputy clerks are not accepted under current guidance.

Original/certified documents must have an eligible original signature/seal and be notarized/certified within 10 years. Vital records require a paper apostille, not an e-Apostille.

State Registrar-signed vital records follow the state-record route without private notarization. Confirm current certification-age requirements; the county-clerk step for notarized private documents is a separate route.

Use an eligible official certified record with the required original official signature. A private notarization of a government-record photocopy does not replace the official record.

Required before booking: obtain an acceptable certified record from the issuing vital-record office or order through VitalChek where available. For New York preliminary certifications, contact the appropriate county clerk or issuing health department. A notary consultation cannot replace these official steps.

Yes. Certified translation can be requested with every apostille or legalization service, including UAE and reviewed/custom orders. Prices start at $75. Confirm the language, document scope and recipient’s requirements before processing; some Spain uses require a sworn translator.

Domestic forwarding is $14 for USPS Priority Mail with a tracking number. International forwarding is invoiced separately based on destination and includes tracking. Physical documents can be dropped off and completed orders picked up at our Miami Beach headquarters.

Our expedited FBI apostille service is estimated at 10 business days after we receive the complete, acceptable FBI report and payment. This is apostille processing time, not the time to obtain a new FBI report. Weekends, holidays, shipping and document corrections are excluded.

Requirements depend on the receiving authority and intended use. For example, Spain’s Miami telework-visa instructions require the FBI certificate to be translated by a sworn translator. Confirm the required translation before purchasing a general translation service.

For our Florida public-school diploma or transcript service, the school registrar must sign the record or certification before a notary, with a complete notarial statement. We cannot submit an unprepared record for apostille. Purchasing the form does not replace the registrar’s notarized signature.

Book a document-preparation consultation for guidance, then have the school registrar sign before a notary with the required complete notarial statement. The school registrar—not the State Registrar of Vital Statistics—handles school records. A consultation does not waive that requirement.
