Secretary of State Apostille

Do you need a Secretary of State Apostille?

Apostilles are issued for documents originating in the United States (Example: Birth, Death, Marriage, Divorce, etc…) and for another country who is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.  The apostille verifies the official who signed your document.  For example, a birth certificate from California will have the signature of the County Clerk.  Birth certificates from Florida will include the signature of the State Registrar.

Documents notarized in the United States (Example: Power of Attorney, Authorization of Agent, Single Status Affidavit, etc..) and for another country also qualifies for an apostille.  In order to apostille a notarized document, you will need to meet with a notary public who will notarize your signature on the document.

If you are outside of the USA and need to apostille your documents, you can mail in your documents for processing.  It’s not necessary to return back to the USA. We can apostille your documents and return them to you by UPS/FedEx international priority shipping.
