My Florida ApostilleMarriage Certificate · For Romania
Marriage Certificate apostille for Romania.
The exact certification your marriage certificate needs, the state fee lane it's in, and in-person filing at the Florida Department of State — apostilled for Romania in 5–7 business days.
Sending a Florida marriage certificate to Romania — typically for citizenship by descent, employment — takes exactly one certificate: a Florida apostille from the Department of State in Tallahassee. Romania 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 Clerk of Court in the county that issued the license, or from the state Bureau of Vital Statistics. The state fee for this document type is $10–$20 depending on the certifying office — 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 marriage certificate rides to our Tallahassee team, gets walked in to the state counter in person, and comes back apostilled in 5–7 business days. Romania-side requirements like certified translation are done after — so the apostille certificate is covered too.

How a Florida marriage certificate is used in Romania
Romanian citizens who marry in Florida must have the marriage transcribed into Romanian civil-status records, within six months of returning to Romania or receiving the certificate. The file needs the apostilled Florida certificate, a legalized Romanian translation, copies of both spouses' birth certificates and IDs, and the prior divorce judgment if either was married before. The trap is the surname: Florida marriage certificates don't state the names the spouses use after marriage, so Romania asks for a separate declaration of married names. Article 11 files also use the marriage certificate to link generations.
Translation for Romania
Our standard for a translation is a translator's certification, notarized by a different notary, with its own Florida apostille. Romanian civil-status offices instead expect the translation to be legalized in Romania by a public notary (from a translator authorized in Romania) or certified by a Romanian consular office; a translation made abroad before a foreign notary must itself carry an apostille. Ask the office receiving your file which version it accepts before you pay.

Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
By using myfloridaapostille.com or our apostille service, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before placing an order.
Our service
My Florida Apostille is an independent document service that facilitates apostille processing through the Florida Department of State on behalf of customers. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of State, the U.S. Department of State, or any government agency. We are a private business providing convenience services.
What we do
Receive your original documents via FedEx at our office
Complete the Florida Department of State Apostille Request Form on your behalf
Pay the $10 Florida state filing fee on your behalf (included in your price)
Walk your documents in person to the Florida Department of State counter
Ship the apostilled documents back to you via FedEx
What we cannot do
We cannot guarantee that the Florida Department of State will issue an apostille for your specific document. Final decisions rest with the state.
We cannot accept documents that do not qualify for apostille (such as hospital "souvenir" certificates, photocopies, or uncertified records).
We do not provide legal advice. We can describe general apostille requirements, but for legal questions about your documents or their use abroad, consult an attorney.
We do not provide translation services. If your destination country requires a translated apostille, you must arrange translation separately.
We do not handle federal documents or documents issued by states other than Florida. Federal documents require U.S. Department of State authentication; non-Florida documents require their issuing state's Secretary of State.
Your responsibilities
You agree to:
Provide accurate information when placing your order
Ship only documents that qualify for Florida apostille
Pay the full order amount at the time of placing the order
Confirm your return shipping address is accurate and deliverable
Comply with all applicable laws regarding the documents you submit
Turnaround time
Our standard turnaround is five to seven business days from the moment we receive your documents at our office. This timeline depends on third-party factors outside our control, including FedEx transit times and the Florida Department of State's processing schedule. We are not liable for delays caused by carriers, state offices, weather, holidays, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Document rejection
If the Florida Department of State rejects your document, we will contact you within one business day to discuss options. Some rejections can be resolved same-day at the counter; others require new documents from the issuing agency. Rejections do not entitle you to a refund of the state filing fee or our service fee, because both the fee and the labor have been performed.
Lost or damaged documents
Documents shipped via FedEx are insured up to $100 by default. For irreplaceable documents, you may purchase additional FedEx Declared Value coverage when you hand your envelope to FedEx. We are not liable for loss or damage during transit beyond FedEx's published insurance coverage.
Payment and refunds
Payment is due at the time of order placement and is processed by Stripe. Refunds are governed by our separate Refund Policy.
Intellectual property
All content on myfloridaapostille.com, including text, graphics, logos, and design, is the property of My Florida Apostille and protected by U.S. copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the order in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost opportunities, missed deadlines, or visa application denials.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Leon County, Florida.
Changes
We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
We want every customer to be satisfied. Because our service involves third-party fees and irreversible work performed on your behalf, refunds depend on when you cancel.
Full refund available if:
You cancel before shipping your documents to us
You cancel after shipping but before we file your documents with the Florida Department of State — your documents will be returned to you unopened, and we will refund your payment in full minus any FedEx shipping costs already incurred
No refund available if:
We have already filed your documents with the Florida Department of State (the $10 state fee has been paid on your behalf and our labor has been performed)
The Florida Department of State rejects your document because it is non-apostillable, incorrect, expired, or otherwise ineligible — we cannot refund the state fee or our service fee in these cases
The destination country does not accept the apostille format (you should verify this with the receiving party before ordering)
You ordered the wrong service or destination — we are not responsible for customer errors at order placement
Include your order number (from your confirmation email) and a brief explanation. We will respond within one business day.
Processing time
Approved refunds are processed within 5–10 business days to the original payment method. Your bank or card issuer may take additional time to display the refund.
Damaged or lost documents
If your documents are damaged or lost in transit by FedEx, FedEx insurance applies (default $100, or up to the Declared Value coverage you purchased). We will work with you to file a FedEx claim. Our service fee is non-refundable in these cases because the loss occurred outside our control.
Questions?
If you have questions about our refund policy before placing an order, please contact us — we'd rather answer questions upfront than handle refunds later.
