Apostille for a birth certificate

A birth certificate used abroad usually needs an apostille — an internationally recognized certificate that verifies it's genuine so authorities in another country will accept it. It's typically required for dual citizenship, visas, and registering a birth abroad.

LuroDocs determines whether your birth certificate goes through the Florida Secretary of State or the US Department of State, obtains the apostille, and arranges a certified or sworn translation when the destination country requires one. You get the authenticated physical original back, ready to file.

Good to know

Good to know about apostilling a birth certificate

  • You'll need a state-issued certified copy from Florida Vital Statistics or the county — hospital “souvenir” certificates and plain photocopies are rejected.
  • It's apostilled directly by the Florida Secretary of State; no notarization step is needed.

This is general process information, not legal advice. LuroDocs is not a law firm; you're responsible for confirming what your situation requires — check with the receiving authority or a licensed attorney.

Common questions
Does my birth certificate need a translation too?
Often yes — many countries require a certified or sworn translation alongside the apostille. We handle both together so nothing is missing when you file.
How long does a Florida apostille take?
Standard state apostilles run about 7–10 business days, with expedited (3–5 days) and express (2–3 days) options. Call us with your deadline and we'll route it the fastest way.
Do I get the physical document back?
Always. An apostille is a physical certificate attached to your original — we ship you the authenticated original ready to file, plus scans for your records.
