Why a certified copy and not a photocopy
An apostille can only be placed on an original certified copy issued by the office that keeps the record, not on a photocopy. For vital records and Clerk of Court documents, Florida adds its own steps before the Department of State issues the apostille.
Who can request vital records
Florida birth certificates less than 125 years old are only issued to the person named (if 18 or older), a parent on the record, a legal guardian or representative, or someone with a court order. We'll tell you what proof of eligibility is needed before you order.
