Adoption Records apostille in Florida
International adoption, dual citizenship, and overseas benefit claims can require apostilled adoption records. A Florida notary cannot copy-certify adoption documents — but we apostille the court- or agency-certified records so they're accepted abroad, handled with discretion.
// the florida rule
Can a Florida notary certify a copy of a adoption records?
No — but here's what we can do.
No — adoption records are sealed court/agency records, often confidential, and only the issuing court or agency may certify copies. A notary has no authority to attest to a copy of them. You obtain the certified records from the court or agency, and we apostille those certified copies for international use.

Adoption Records FAQ.
These records are sensitive — how do you handle them?
With discretion. We only need the court- or agency-certified copies to obtain the apostille; we don't retain your records. Tell us the destination country and we'll confirm exactly what it requires.
Will a certified translation be needed?
Often yes for non-English-speaking countries. We apostille the certified records and pair them with a certified translation so the foreign authority receives a complete package.
