American Apostille & Notary Services can apostille birth certificates issued from all 50 States, Washington DC, and US Territories. 

​

You must fill out the order form or send an original or copy issued by the County Clerk or State to me for processing in order to have your certificate apostilled. Only the state where the birth certificate was issued may authenticate it. The Secretary of State is not authorized to certify documents issued by another state. If your birth certificate is from Colorado, for example, the apostille can only be issued by the State of Colorado.

Not every birth certificate can qualify for an apostille. Some states have placed restrictions on how old a certificate can be. For example, birth certificates issued from the State of Wisconsin and Virginia can not be older than 12 months. Certificates issued by the County Clerk or the Health Department may also be rejected by some states. We urge that you send in your current certificate for review. We will provide you with instructions if the State rejects your document.
