Quick Answer
Can I apostille this?
The fastest way to know: run the 60-second wizard. Below are the most common yes / no / maybe cases we see.
Yes, we can apostille
- • Certified birth certificate from a state vital records office
- • Certified marriage certificate (civil record, not a church certificate)
- • Certified death certificate
- • Notarized power of attorney with proper notary wording
- • FBI Identity History Summary (Channeler PDF or paper report)
- • Certificate of Good Standing from a Secretary of State
- • Notarized diploma or transcript copy from the registrar
- • Court-certified copy of a court order or judgment
No, not in this form
- • A photocopy that has not been notarized or certified
- • A laminated document (removal usually damages the record)
- • A church-only marriage certificate without civil registration
- • An expired document that has been re-issued only electronically as an unsigned PDF
- • A document signed by a notary in a state where the notary is not commissioned

- • Emailed transcripts or diplomas — usually need the sealed original or notarization
- • Foreign-issued documents already used in the U.S. — those go through the issuing country instead
- • Documents older than a year for consulate use — often accepted, sometimes rejected
- • Handwritten letters or affidavits — need a notary and often a state certification first
