Choose the right document path
Not every document needs the same certification
The correct process depends on where the document was issued, who signed it, where it is going and what the receiving authority requires. We help you distinguish ordinary notarization from Apostille, authentication and legalization before documents start moving between agencies.
Apostille of documents

Authentication & legalization
Guidance through county, state, federal and consular steps when a document is not eligible for a standard Apostille or the destination country requires additional legalization.

Three details determine the route
01
Where was it issued?
A state-issued record, federal document and privately signed document can require different authorities.
02
Where is it going?
The destination country and receiving institution determine whether Apostille or legalization is appropriate.
03
Has it been signed yet?
Some documents must be signed before a notary using specific wording, while certified records should not be altered.
Common questions
Apostille and notary FAQ
What is the difference between notarization and an Apostille?
Notarization confirms a signing or another notarial act. An Apostille authenticates the public official's signature or seal so an eligible document can be recognized in another country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention. Some documents need notarization before they can be submitted for an Apostille.
Can you notarize documents online?
Yes, for documents and signers eligible for Florida Remote Online Notarization. The signer appears by live audio-video connection and completes identity verification. Acceptance should be confirmed with the receiving organization before the session.
Can you help with documents that will be used outside the United States?
Yes. We help clients identify the likely notarization, county, state, federal, Apostille or legalization path for documents intended for international use. The destination country's requirements and the document's issuing authority determine the correct route.
