Since July 1, 2022, the Indiana Secretary of State's office has adopted the Single Certificate Apostille format following the Hague Conference on Private International Law. This adoption standardizes certification and eliminates the differentiation between apostille and authentication requests.
This new type of Universal Certificates are printed on standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper with a bordered rectangle. A trilingual format in English, French, and Spanish is displayed below the box and bears a unique number for authenticity verification. The certificate itself is attached with two staples on the left side, positioned on the front page containing the certified signature and Indiana State Seal stamped in blue ink.
Indiana public documents such birth or death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, school transcripts, diplomas, or degrees, and adoption papers can be submitted for apostille.
Vital records can be apostilled only if they recently issued so you will need to obtain a certified copy from the Indiana State Department of Health or a County Health Officer if your vital record document is old. Certified copies of divorce certificates are available from the county where the divorce occurred.
Foreign students requiring apostille for their school records and degrees usually need these documents notarized by a recognized Indiana notary public, complete with signature, seal, and notarization date.
