Why You May Need an Apostille for Indiana Documents

An apostille is required when an Indiana-issued document will be used in a country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. It confirms the document’s authenticity so it can be legally recognized abroad.

​

Common reasons Indiana documents may need an apostille include dual citizenship, visa applications, studying abroad, marriage abroad, international business, adoption, and foreign legal requirements.

Apostille in Indiana

Indiana Documents & Requirements — Handled for You

We assist with apostille requests for a wide range of Indiana-issued documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce decrees, diplomas, academic transcripts, powers of attorney, affidavits, background checks, notarized documents, and business or corporate records.

​

We serve customers throughout Indiana, including Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Carmel, Fishers, Bloomington, Lafayette, Hammond, Gary, and other cities statewide.

​

Apostilles and authentications for Indiana-issued documents are issued by the Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division. Indiana uses one standard authentication certificate format and no longer separates apostille and authentication requests into different certificate formats.

​

Certain Indiana documents, such as birth certificates, death certificates, marriage records, divorce decrees, and school records, may need to be official certified copies or properly prepared before submission. Indiana states that notarized documents must include a properly completed notarial certificate, including the notary’s signature and seal and required notarization details.

​

For Indiana school documents, the Indiana Secretary of State explains that school records are often certified by a school official in the presence of a notary, and then the notarized transcript or diploma is sent to the Secretary of State’s office for authentication.

​

If you are unsure whether your document qualifies or how it needs to be prepared, we review your documents in advance and guide you before submission to help prevent delays or rejections.
