Students seeking to legalize their academic documents for international use should carefully review the information provided on the Document Legalization page or contact the Apostille/Legalization Department directly using the email link provided.
Please note the following important considerations:
-
Florida state apostilles and certification documents do not expire under state policy.
-
However, some foreign countries impose their own expiration limits on apostilled documents.
-
USILACS recognizes a general validity period of three years from the date of legalization.
Students are advised to plan their requests accordingly to ensure that all legalized documents remain valid for their intended purpose at the time of submission or use.
