Yes. B. Elise Notary Services can assist with apostille facilitation for documents issued outside of Florida.

Generally, a state-issued document must be apostilled or authenticated by the appropriate authority in the state where the document originated. For example, a New York birth certificate would typically follow New York’s authentication requirements rather than being submitted to the Florida Department of State.

Requirements vary by state and document type. Some documents may require additional certifications or other steps before they are eligible for an apostille. Federal documents may follow a separate federal authentication process.

We review each request based on the document type, issuing authority, and country where the document will be used to help determine the appropriate processing steps.

If you have a document issued outside of Florida, submit an Apostille Request Form with the document details so we can review your request and provide next steps.
