Diploma apostille for Mexico.

Sending a Florida diploma to Mexico — typically for dual citizenship, property purchases, and acta transcriptions — takes exactly one certificate: a Florida apostille from the Department of State in Tallahassee. Mexico 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 notarized copy — the registrar certifies or a Florida notary attests to the copy; original diplomas are never surrendered to the state. 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 diploma rides to our Tallahassee team, gets walked in to the state counter in person, and comes back apostilled in 5–7 business days. Mexico-side requirements like certified translation are done after — so the apostille certificate is covered too.

How a Florida diploma or transcript is used in Mexico

For SEP revalidación de estudios, current guidance published by the Mexican Embassy in Canada says diplomas and academic certificates need no apostille and that a simple Spanish translation is enough. So for revalidation alone, you may not need us at all. The apostille comes back when a Mexican university admissions office, an employer or a professional body puts it on its own list. If one does, the diploma or transcript must be notarized by the school registrar when it's issued; a copy you notarize yourself will be turned away in Tallahassee.

Translation for Mexico

Our general rule is a translation certified by the translator, notarized by a different notary and apostilled in Florida. Mexico is the big exception: notarios, courts and Registros Civiles usually require a perito traductor authorized by a state Tribunal Superior de Justicia instead, done in Mexico after the apostille. Mexican consulates in the U.S. generally don't ask for a translation of English documents, and SEP revalidation accepts a simple translation.

Common questions.

Yes — Mexico is a Hague Convention member, and Florida apostilles are accepted without further legalization.
The state will only apostille a notarized copy — the registrar certifies or a Florida notary attests to the copy; original diplomas are never surrendered to the state.
Frequently, yes — check the receiving authority's checklist. Translate after the apostille so the certificate is translated with the document.
