Diploma apostille for Venezuela.

This is occasional for Venezuela. It mostly comes up when a Venezuelan who studied in Florida returns to work in a regulated profession, or a Venezuelan university needs the degree for admission or revalidation. The receiving university or professional body sets its own requirements and will likely want an official Spanish translation. On the Florida side, a public school or university diploma or transcript must be signed by the registrar before a notary with a complete notarial certificate. A copy you notarize yourself won't be accepted by the state for a public institution's record.

Our standard for a translation is a translator's certification, notarized by a different notary, with its own Florida apostille. Venezuela may instead require an intérprete público: under the Ley de Intérpretes Públicos (2022), official translations with public faith are made by titled translators registered in the national registry kept by the Ministry of Interior, Justice and Peace. Ask the registro civil, notary or registry which version it accepts, and translate after the apostille.
