Apostille Deposit

Service Description

Both apostilles and certifications are used by foreign governments to assess the authenticity of an official signature on a document; the capacity in which the person signing the document acted; and the identity of any stamp or seal affixed to the document. When the Department of State authenticates a document with an apostille or certification, the department verifies that the person who signed the document is a Florida official and the Secretary of the Commonwealth has given "full faith and credit" to the official's seal and signature.
