Power of Attorney Apostille

Requires a state apostille

⚠ Notarization required first: This document must be notarized by a commissioned notary public before it can receive a state apostille. The apostille is issued on the notary's signature, not the document itself. Make sure your notarization is current — some states impose time limits on how old a notarization can be before the apostille is refused.

⚠ County step may apply: Some states require county clerk certification of the notary's commission before the Secretary of State will issue the apostille on notarized documents. This is separate from the standard apostille process for vital records. Check your state's page in the Apostilles section for state-specific requirements, or contact us and we will confirm before you mail anything.
