Document requirements

What Type of Florida Marriage Certificate Qualifies for Apostille?

The safest document is an official certified marriage certificate issued by the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics or by the Clerk of Court / County Clerk where the marriage license was recorded. If your certificate is old, unclear, signed by the wrong official, or only a photocopy, it may need replacement before apostille.
