Before you can have your documents authenticated for use on foreign soil, you must first obtain the record from the correct agency to ensure you have the right paperwork to submit with your Miami apostille application. Here’s where to do it:

• Vital records: Florida Department of Health’s Bureau of Vital Statistics or the appropriate local office, depending on the record.
• Background checks: Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
• Divorce records: The appropriate county clerk or court office.
• Diplomas and transcripts: The issuing school, college, or university.
• Powers of attorney: These are generally prepared as private documents and properly notarized rather than ordered from a government agency.
