FAQs

Can I use a legal document written in another language in Florida?

1

Yes. Florida law does not generally prohibit legal documents from being written in another language. However, the document must satisfy all applicable legal requirements to be valid and enforceable. Certain institutions or government agencies may require an English translation before accepting the document.

Does every legal document need to be translated into English?

2

Not always. Private legal documents may be prepared in another language. However, courts, government agencies, banks, hospitals, title companies, or other institutions may require a certified English translation before accepting the document.

If a document is notarized in another language, is it automatically valid in Florida?

3

Not necessarily. Notarization only verifies the identity of the signer and the proper execution of the document. It does not determine whether the document complies with Florida law or whether an English translation will be required by the receiving institution.

Are LEGALIZA documents prepared by an attorney?
