How to get a Hague apostille for a Florida divorce record?

The first step will be to determine what kind of divorce record is required by the foreign country of intended use.

The State of Florida issues two kinds of divorce documents:

Florida Dissolution of Marriage Certificate (also called a "Florida Divorce Certificate" or a " Florida Certification of Report of Dissolution of Marriage") is issued by the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Florida Department of Health, and signed by the State Registrar. The following signatures will be acceptable for Florida apostilles: 

Ken Jones (the current State Registrar) *C. Meade Grigg *Oliver Board *Edward Williams * Charles Mahan

The second type is the Divorce judgement issued by the court where your divorce was filed, and signed by the Clerk or Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court.

Both documents are eligible for apostilles, provided they have original seals.

Certificate of Dissolution of Marriage vs. divorce judgment

We strongly recommend to contact the receiving foreign agency or the Consulate of the country of intended use to determine what kind of divorce record may be required.

Florida Dissolution of Marriage Certificate (also called a "Divorce Certificate" or "Certification of Report of Dissolution of Marriage") is issued as an abstract of the information taken from the judgment and is acceptable as evidence that a dissolution was finalized and granted. The actual judgement may be obtained from the Clerk of Circuit Court in the county where the dissolution of marraige was granted.

After a dissolution of marriage (divorce or annulment) has been recorded with the Clerk of Circuit Court, the Clerk forwards a report to the Bureau of Vital Statistics for permanent filing. This process takes approximately 60 days. If the current dissolution of marriage is less than 60 days, the Dissolution of marriage certificate is not available. 

The Divorce judgement may be obtained from the Clerk of Circuit Court in the county where the dissolution was granted.

To start the process of getting an apostille for a Florida divorce record, you must first have a document that will eligible for an apostille. If you were asked for several apostilled divorce certificates (judgments), for each Florida apostille you will need a separate certified copy. Please note that, under no circumstances, can a Florida vital record (including divorce certificates or judgments) be notarized. If the Secretary of State sees any kind of notarization on your document, the document will be rejected for an apostille.
