APOSTILLE REQUIREMENTS

Apostilles authenticate the seals and signatures of officials on public
documents such as birth certificates, court orders, or any other document issued
by a federal agency or certified by a U.S. or foreign consul. An apostille
certifies the document(s), so the document can be recognized in foreign
countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. We only issue
apostilles for federal documents to use in countries that are members of the
1961 Hague Convention.

Before submitting documents to us, you must:

1) Notarize each document in front of a notary public:

 * Using a notary commissioned by the county? Certify your document at the clerk
   of court then the secretary of state.
 * Using a notary commissioned by the state? Certify your document at the
   secretary of state.

If you do not have the correct notarization(s) before you submit your documents,
we will not be able to process your request.

2) All seals and signatures must be originals

 * We cannot accept copies unless they are “true certified copies” from a notary
   public. Birth, marriage, and death certificates, divorce decrees, court
   documents, and federally-issued documents cannot be certified by a notary
   public as “true copies.” These documents must be certified by the secretary
   of state.

3) All documents in a foreign language must be translated into English by a
certified translator and notarized as a true translation.

State-issued documents for use in countries that are members of 1961 Hague
Convention must be authenticated by the competent authority in the state where
the document was executed.

A state-issued document with an apostille does not require additional
certification by the U.S. Department of State or legalization by a U.S. embassy
or consulate overseas to be recognized in a participating country.The U.S.
Department of State will not issue an apostille for state-issued documents.

State-issued documents for use in countries that are not members of the 1961
Hague Convention may be authenticated with an authentication certificate from
the U.S. Department of State. Please see Authentication Certificate
Requirements for more information.
