Birth Certificate apostille for Argentina.

Sending a Florida birth certificate to Argentina — typically for citizenship by descent, university credentials — takes exactly one certificate: a Florida apostille from the Department of State in Tallahassee. Argentina is a Hague member, so once the apostille is attached, no consulate or embassy step is needed on the U.S. side.

The part that causes rejections is the document itself: the state will only apostille a certified copy from the Florida Bureau of Vital Statistics (or the county where the birth was recorded) — hospital keepsakes and plain photocopies are rejected. The state fee for this document type is $10 — included in our $220 either way — and our pre-filing review confirms your copy is in the right lane before it ever reaches the counter.

Order online from anywhere in the U.S.: we review your documents, then FedEx emails you a pre-paid QR code, your birth certificate rides to our Tallahassee team, gets walked in to the state counter in person, and comes back apostilled in 5–7 business days. Argentina-side requirements like certified translation are done after — so the apostille certificate is covered too.

How a Florida birth certificate is used in Argentina

The Argentine use we see most is the opción de nacionalidad for a Florida-born child of a native Argentine. The Cancillería lists an apostilled foreign birth certificate as a requirement, and the procedure is personal and in person at the consulate, with one appointment per family member. Because the whole point is proving the link to the Argentine parent, order a certified copy that shows the parents' names. It must be signed by the current State Registrar: copies certified before 2014 won't be apostilled. Have the spellings checked against the parent's DNI before you file.

Translation for Argentina

Our general rule is a translation certified by the translator, notarized by a separate notary and apostilled in Florida, but Argentina instead requires an in-country professional for official filings. Under Law 20.305, foreign-language documents filed with Argentine authorities need a Spanish translation by a registered traductor público, and Migraciones and the Buenos Aires Registro Civil also want the Colegio de Traductores to legalize the translator's signature. Get the Florida apostille first so the traductor público translates the apostille page too.
