Florida Apostille Requirements Florida only apostilles documents bearing the signature or seal of a Florida public official or Florida-commissioned notary. The Department of State cross-references the notary's commission number, bond information, and expiration date. Documents notarized by an out-of-state notary must be apostilled in that notary's home state, regardless of where the document signer resides.
