Hague Convention Apostille · Florida Department of State
Florida Notary & Apostille for Brazil, Done Online or in South Florida.
Whether you are in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, or anywhere else in the world, I notarize your document by video call in English or Portuguese and secure the official physical Hague Apostille from the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee. If you are in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, I can also notarize in person.
If the document needs a signature, I notarize it on a secure video call; then I file in person in Tallahassee and ship the apostilled document to your address in Brazil with tracking. In English or Portuguese, start to finish.
Documents we apostille most often for Brazil
- Procurações (pública or particular) for real estate, vehicles, Receita Federal (CPF) matters, and business in Brazil
- Florida birth and marriage certificates (certified copy first)
- Diplomas and school records for revalidation
- Corporate documents and powers of attorney for companies
- Sworn statements and affidavits
The apostille is issued by the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee. Brazil accepts it directly because both countries are parties to the Hague Convention. No additional step at a Brazilian registry office or consulate.
