A marriage certificate is usually issued by a government official after two people have been married. It is a document that shows that the two people are legally married to each other. An apostille is a certificate that is used to authenticate the origin of a document. It is typically used for documents that are going to be used in a foreign country.

In order for your marriage certificate to be valid in another country, it must be apostilled. An apostille is an authentication of a document for international use. Go to the Texas Secretary of State website and download the apostille request form. Complete the form and mail it, along with the document you need to be apostilled, to the address listed on the form. Apostilles can be issued for documents issued by the State of Florida and its political subdivisions. These items include, but are not limited to:

Notarial Acts

Court Documents

How much does an Apostille cost?

An Apostille costs $15.00 in Florida as of January 1, 2009.

Do I need a separate Apostille for each document I submit?

No, you do not need a separate Apostille for each document you submit. When applying for an Apostille you will be required to submit an intention to apostille each document that you plan to month for the service. It is important to remember that only original documents will be accepted in most cases. The only exception is if the document shown is a Certified Copy from the issuing agency. The office of the Secretary of State does not place Apostilles on copies of documents if originals are available. Unless you are submitting for an Authentication of your US birth certificate, which you can NOT submit copy, even if certified from the state vital statistics office. If we have any questions about your document, we will contact you to obtain the proper documents needed to process your request.
