International Transcript Apostille
Apostille certification for diplomas and academic transcripts headed abroad — notarization, Florida DOS authentication, and tracked delivery.
International Transcript Apostille authenticates a diploma or academic transcript for use abroad: I notarize or certify the registrar copy, then route it to the Florida Department of State for apostille — their processing time varies, so check dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/document-processing-dates/ for the current estimate.
Apostille certification for academic transcripts, diplomas, and degree verifications destined for use overseas. We notarize the registrar copy where required, route the document to the Florida Department of State for authentication, track its progress, and return it ready for foreign universities, employers, and licensing boards. Florida does not run an official expedited apostille queue; walk-in submission may reduce mailing delay for eligible requests, but the review itself runs on the Department of State's own schedule, separate from our own handling time. The $180 starting price covers our notarization/certification and coordination fee; Florida's apostille state fee and any shipping or courier costs are itemized separately.
How it works
- Confirm the document and destination
Tell me whether you need the original registrar-issued transcript notarized, or a certified true copy, and which country it's headed to.
- Certify or notarize
For a certified copy, I complete a true-copy certification. For a registrar original requiring a signature, I notarize it directly.
- Route to Florida DOS
I submit the notarized or certified document to Florida Department of State for apostille authentication.
- Track and deliver
I track processing and return the apostilled document ready for the foreign university, employer, or licensing board.

Frequently asked questions
Does a certified copy of my transcript work, or do you need the original?
Yes, when the receiving institution accepts a certified true copy. I compare the copy to the original and complete a certification statement before it goes to Florida DOS.
How long does the apostille step take?
Florida Department of State sets its own apostille processing time, and it varies — check their current estimate at dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/document-processing-dates/ before I submit it. Florida doesn't run an official expedited queue; in-person walk-in submission may reduce mailing delay for eligible requests, but the review itself isn't faster. The notarization or certification session with me takes about 15 minutes — that's our handling time, separate from the state's own processing time.
