Do Florida vital record certifications have a “raised” seal?
Florida vital record certifications have an “embossed” seal of the state of Florida. By running thumb and forefinger over the seal, a slight raise can be felt. The absence of a highly raised seal, in no way diminishes the authenticity or validity of Florida vital record certifications. Florida vital record certifications are accepted by all state and federal agencies.
