Apostille Certification in Indiana

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.
