COMPLIANCE & LEGALITY
Understanding Apostille Requirements for Colombia
Because Colombia is a signatory to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, the process for document authentication is remarkably streamlined. You do not need to undergo a complex, multi-step consular legalization process.
- A single apostille certificate is universally accepted across Colombia.
- No embassy or consular legalization is required.
- Apostilles issued by the Florida Department of State are legally sufficient.
Crucial Translation Exceptions
While an apostille authenticates the origin of your document, the Colombian government mandates that any document not originally issued in Spanish must be officially translated. This translation must be completed by a certified Colombian translator (Traductor Oficial) authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it must be done after the apostille has been attached.
Understanding Processing
Times
State Processing
Turnaround times at the Florida state level vary based on current government backlog and whether expedited service options are selected. The process usually takes 4-7 business days.
Federal Authentication
Required for certain federal documents.U.S. Department of State processing adds additional time to the overall timeline, depending on current volume. Usually 7-15 business days.
Mail Delivery
Transit times for receiving and returning documents must be factored in. We utilize secure, trackable shipping to ensure your documents arrive safely.
Note: Processing times fluctuate regularly due to government backlogs and demand. We offer expedited service options where available to ensure your documents are authenticated for Colombia as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you apostille a marriage certificate from another state?
We specialize in Florida apostilles. If your marriage certificate was issued in another state, it must be apostilled by that state's Secretary of State rather than in Florida.
Does a Power of Attorney need to be notarized before the apostille process?
Yes. A Power of Attorney must be properly notarized, ideally by a Florida notary, before it can be submitted to the Florida Department of State for an apostille certification.
How do I prepare educational records for an apostille?
Diplomas and academic transcripts must typically be notarized by the school registrar before they are eligible for a Florida apostille. We can guide you through this specific verification step.
What is required to apostille Florida business documents?
Articles of Incorporation or Certificates of Good Standing issued by the Florida Division of Corporations do not require prerequisite notarization. They can be submitted directly for an apostille.
