Quick Guide

Do I Need an Apostille or Consular Legalization?

Countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention generally accept an apostille as sufficient proof of the authenticity of a U.S. document, without needing to go through the destination country's embassy.

However, some documents or destinations may require an authentication or consular/embassy legalization process instead of an apostille, depending on the country and the type of procedure. Documents issued by U.S. federal agencies — such as FBI background checks — generally require a federal apostille or authentication through the U.S. Department of State, not a state apostille.

The correct process depends on several factors: the authority that issued the document, the destination country, the document type, and its intended use. We recommend that clients confirm the final requirements directly with the receiving authority or the relevant consulate.

Miami Dade Apostille can review your document and help identify the correct U.S. authentication process before you submit it.

Embassy legalization destinations

We offer embassy legalization for eligible U.S. documents used in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan and Cuba.

For documents that require the full legalization chain, our team can help coordinate state authentication, federal authentication and embassy legalization. The required steps depend on the document and destination. Government and consular authorities issue the certifications.

Send copies and the receiving office's instructions to our team so we can review the appropriate service before you send originals or certified copies. If mailing, use a trackable shipping method and keep your tracking number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Apostilles and Consulates

Do I need an apostille before going to the consulate?
Whether an apostille is required depends on the receiving authority, the document type, and the procedure. In many cases, the apostille is obtained before presenting the document to the consulate or foreign authority — a consulate does not issue apostilles for U.S. documents. The apostille is obtained through the Secretary of State of the state that issued the document or, for federal documents, through the U.S. Department of State. We recommend confirming the exact requirement with the consulate or receiving authority before presenting the document.
Who issues an apostille in Florida?
The Florida Department of State, in Tallahassee, is the authority that issues apostilles on documents issued or notarized in Florida, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, court documents, corporate documents, and notarized documents.
Does the consulate issue the apostille?
No. Consulates and embassies do not issue apostilles for U.S. documents. Their consular function is different: they may certify, legalize, or require a document that has already been apostilled, but the apostille itself is issued by the corresponding state or federal authority in the United States.
What is the difference between an apostille and consular legalization?
An apostille is a certificate recognized by countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention, without requiring further involvement from an embassy. Consular legalization is a separate process, generally required when the destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, and involves an additional review by the embassy or consulate of the receiving country.
How do I know if my document needs a state or federal apostille?
It depends on who originally issued the document. Documents issued by a state agency — such as Florida birth certificates, court documents, or notarized documents — require a state apostille. Documents issued by a federal agency — such as FBI background checks or USCIS or IRS documents — require a federal apostille or authentication through the U.S. Department of State. Miami Dade Apostille can review the document and confirm which process applies.
Can an FBI document be apostilled?
Yes. FBI background checks (FBI Identity History Summary) can be apostilled, but the process goes through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., since it is a federal document rather than a state one.
Do I need to translate the document after it's apostilled?
In many cases, yes, especially if the document will be presented to an authority that does not operate in English. It is generally recommended to apostille the original document first and then complete the certified translation, since some authorities require the translation to include the original apostille. Confirm the exact order with the receiving authority.
Can I apostille a document if I'm outside the United States?
Yes. Many clients who live outside the United States mail their documents in or designate someone in Florida to handle the process on their behalf. Miami Dade Apostille can coordinate shipping and return delivery of the apostilled document nationally and internationally.
Can I mail in my documents?
Yes. Miami Dade Apostille accepts documents mailed from anywhere in the United States or abroad, in addition to receiving documents in person at our Miami locations.
Is Miami Dade Apostille affiliated with any consulate?
No. Miami Dade Apostille is an independent, privately owned company. We are not part of any consulate, embassy, Secretary of State, or government agency. We offer document preparation, apostille, authentication, notarization, and certified translation services.
Can you review my document before I start the process?
Yes. You can send us a photo or scan of your document along with the country where it will be used, and we'll review which apostille, authentication, or legalization process applies before starting the order.
What documents can be apostilled for international use?
Commonly apostilled documents include birth, marriage, and death certificates, divorce decrees, powers of attorney, affidavits, state and FBI background checks, diplomas and transcripts, school documents, corporate documents (Articles of Incorporation, Certificates of Good Standing, corporate resolutions), court documents, notarized letters, and travel consent letters, among others.
