Apostille serves as a certificate of international authenticity for documents originating in any of the Hague Convention member countries. You can use your apostilled document for official purposes worldwide, without the need for any additional authentication.

Steps to Apostille Your U.S. Documents

The first step in getting an apostille on your documents is checking if notarization is required. Any registered notary public from your state can certify your documents for the Secretary of State’s approval. Vital records such as birth and death certificates will not need notarization before the apostille process.

While other public documents can be notarized by a notary public officer, court orders need a Secretary of State notarization. Post-notarization, you can send your document in for an apostille using the DS-4194 or your specific state’s apostille/authentication request form. Some states offer in-person submission of documents which is a faster alternative to sending in your request via mail.
