Why You May Need an Apostille for Missouri Documents
An apostille is required when a Missouri-issued document will be used in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. It confirms the authenticity of the signature, seal, or official capacity on the document so it can be legally recognized abroad.
​
Common reasons Missouri documents may need an apostille include dual citizenship, visa applications, studying abroad, marriage abroad, international business, adoption, foreign legal requirements, and overseas employment.

Apostilles for Missouri-issued documents are issued by the Missouri Secretary of State. Missouri apostille requests generally require an original certified document or a properly notarized Missouri document. The Missouri Secretary of State cover letter lists a $10 fee per apostille or authentication.
​
Certain documents, such as Missouri birth certificates, marriage records, divorce decrees, court records, and official business records, usually need to be certified copies issued by the proper Missouri authority. The Missouri Secretary of State states that birth certificates must be certified copies from the Bureau of Vital Records, marriage licenses must be certified copies from the Recorder of Deeds or a related statement from the Bureau of Vital Records, and divorce decrees must be certified copies from the Circuit Clerk.
Documents such as affidavits, powers of attorney, personal statements, passport copies, and many private documents generally need proper notarization by a Missouri Notary Public before they can be submitted for apostille. Missouri notarized documents must include the proper notarization, including the notarial paragraph, notary signature, and notary seal.
​
Missouri school documents require special care. School documents must be certified by the school, and depending on the document format, they may also need proper notarization before apostille submission. We review school documents before submission to confirm the correct format.
​
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.
