Indiana Apostille.
Easy. Fast. Reliable

The Secretary of State issues specialized certificates called apostille. Your original documents might require apostilles to confirm their validity and authenticity so that they can be accepted by one of the other countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention.

Apostilles and certifications differ in that apostilles are used by Hague Convention signatory countries whereas certifications are used by non-signatory countries. There are two different types of public document authentications: an apostille and a certification.

You may need to apostille your documents if you are:

• obtaining a dual-citizenship
• obtaining an ownership of a property
• studying in abroad
• claiming an inheritance
• adding a spouse name in the passport
• getting married in abroad

or for many other purposes in abroad.

Only documents intended for use in Hague Participating Countries will receive an Apostille from the Indiana Secretary of State. All documents issued for countries that are not Hague Participants will be certified rather than apostilled.

Within the United States or any of its territories, apostilles are not necessary. That is why the Secretary of State of Indiana will not issue an apostille for use in American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Indiana Secretary of State charges $2 per document. Documents may have multiple pages.

The State of Indiana cannot apostilize documents issued by another state. The same issuing state must apostille them. Documents issued by the federal government for people or businesses in Indiana require an apostille, which can be obtained through the US Department of State.

Obtaining an apostille can sometimes involve a lot of work and time. In Indiana, it usually takes from 3 business days and can take up to a few weeks.
