1. About This Website and Our Services
This website is operated by Miami Dade Apostille, a private document preparation and expediting service based in Miami, Florida. We are not a government agency, a court, or a law firm. We prepare and submit documents to the appropriate authority on behalf of clients, but we do not issue apostilles or any official government certifications ourselves.
Apostilles are issued by the competent authority of the relevant state (typically the Secretary of State) or, for eligible federal documents, by the U.S. Department of State. Those authorities make all decisions about whether a document meets their requirements.
The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes. It does not constitute legal advice. For questions specific to your legal situation, consult a licensed attorney.
2. Scope, Timing, and Charges
The scope of work and charges for each service are agreed between you and Miami Dade Apostille before work begins. A quote identifies the services included and any applicable third-party costs such as state filing fees or courier charges. Processing time estimates are subject to the timelines of the relevant government authority and may change without notice. We will communicate known delays as promptly as possible.
3. Your Responsibilities
When requesting our services, you are responsible for:
- Providing accurate and complete instructions, including the correct destination country and intended use of the document
- Submitting documents you are authorized to submit for processing on your behalf or on behalf of the person named in the document
- Confirming the specific requirements of the receiving institution, embassy, consulate, or government authority before placing your order
- Notifying us promptly if your requirements change after an order is placed
4. No Government Affiliation or Approval Guarantee
Miami Dade Apostille has no affiliation with any government agency, Secretary of State office, the U.S. Department of State, or any consulate or embassy. Use of official terminology on this website (such as "apostille," "authentication," or "legalization") refers to the document processes we assist with, not to any official status or endorsement.
We cannot guarantee that any document we prepare and submit will be accepted by the issuing authority or by the receiving institution in the destination country. Acceptance decisions are made solely by those authorities.
5. External Sites and Services
This website contains links to external sites including WhatsApp, online booking platforms, and government agency websites. These sites are operated independently and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content or practices of any external site.
