Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an apostille to send documents to Italy?
Yes. Italy has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since 1978. A Florida-issued apostille from the Florida Department of State is recognized directly across all 27 EU member states, including Italy — no consular chain required.
How long does apostille processing take for Italy?
Standard processing through The Milano Seal™ takes 3–5 business days, including notarization and Florida Department of State apostille coordination.
What documents commonly require apostille for Italy?
Powers of attorney, Italian citizenship restoration documents, affidavits, corporate resolutions, marriage certificates, and vital records are the most frequently authenticated documents for Italy.
Can Remote Online Notarization (RON) be used for documents going to Italy?
Yes. Florida-commissioned notaries performing RON produce valid notarizations that the Florida DOS will apostille for recognition in Italy and across the European Union.
