Select Your Document Status

To meet your tight international deadlines, your paperwork must be routed precisely. Please review the criteria below and choose the button that accurately describes your current document files.

📍 Service Scope: This portal applies strictly to Florida Apostilles. We cannot process federal apostilles (from the US Department of State in Washington, D.C.) or apostilles from other U.S. states through this specific form.

⏱️ Understanding the Timeline: Our same day timeline represents the exact time required to submit and process your files directly through the Florida Secretary of State. This window does not include inbound mailing transits to our office, nor does it include return shipping delivery to your final destination.

⚠️ Critical Academic & State Jurisdiction Rules

Florida Apostilles Only: This workflow can solely be used to secure an apostille from the Florida Secretary of State. Documents requiring a Federal Apostille from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. (such as FBI Identity History Summaries) or authentication from other state governments cannot be routed through this service.

Public School Transcripts: Florida public school transcripts cannot be notarized online via RON. They must be physically signed by your school registrar and explicitly notarized by the school or district’s in-house notary before submission.

General Note: Any document pre-notarized by an outside party must strictly meet the statutory requirements of the State of Florida. Deficient external notarizations will cause immediate rejections at the Department of State, delaying your turnaround timeline.
