Hague Convention Apostille · Florida Department of State
Florida Notary & Apostille for Colombia, Done Online or in South Florida.
Whether you are in Bogotá, MedellÃn, Cali, or anywhere else in the world, I notarize your document by video call in English or Spanish 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.
I notarize by video call if a signature is required, file in person in Tallahassee, and return the apostilled document to your address in Colombia with tracked shipping. With help in English or Spanish from start to finish.
Documents we apostille most often for Colombia
- Powers of attorney (poder especial) for real estate sales, notarÃas, and procedures before Colombian entities
- Florida birth and marriage certificates for escritura pública support files (certified copy first)
- Diplomas and school records for degree validation
- Corporate documents and powers of attorney for companies
- Sworn statements and affidavits
The apostille is issued by the Florida Department of State in Tallahassee. Colombia accepts it directly because both countries are parties to the Hague Convention. There is no additional step at the Colombian foreign ministry or a consulate.

Questions about the apostille for Colombia
Can I do everything from Colombia, without traveling?+
Yes. The notarization is by video call and I handle the apostille in Tallahassee. You send the document and receive it back with tracked shipping.
Does this work for selling a property in Colombia?+
Yes. Florida powers of attorney are among the most apostilled documents for Colombia. I will guide you on how to structure the document so the receiving notary or entity accepts it without objections.
My birth certificate is from another US state, not Florida. Now what?+
Each state apostilles its own documents: a Texas birth certificate is apostilled in Texas, not Florida. If the document was notarized before a Florida notary, I can apostille it in Tallahassee. Message me and I will confirm the right path.
Does Colombia accept a Florida remote online notarization?+
Yes. The notarization is performed by a Florida notary under Chapter 117 of the Florida Statutes over secure video, and the Florida Department of State apostille makes it valid in Colombia. Both countries are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention, so no visit to a Colombian consulate is needed.
