IDEA Services certifies your documents for international use — state-issued apostilles with Secretary of State offices nationwide and U.S. Department of State documents handled with the precision official paperwork demands.
Where your document goes depends on who issued it. We route every request to the correct authority the first time.
State-Issued Documents
Secretary of State offices nationwide
Vital records, educational documents, corporate papers, powers of attorney, and other state-issued or state-notarized documents receive their apostille from the Secretary of State office of the issuing state. We process requests across every U.S. state.
Federal Documents
U.S. Department of State documents
Federally issued documents — such as federal background checks and documents from federal agencies — are authenticated for international use through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Processing Options
Choose the speed your deadline demands.
Every option includes full document review before submission, tracking at every stage, and secure return delivery of your apostilled originals.

Florida is one of the most internationally active states in the country, and Florida apostille requirements have their own nuances. Our team works with Florida documents day in and day out — birth certificates, diplomas, corporate filings, and more — so your Florida paperwork is prepared correctly the first time.
Apostille submissions are processed via mail with original documents. Choose the mailing method that fits you — the steps are the same, only the carrier changes.
