Arkansas apostille guidelines:

The purpose of an Apostille is to verify for foreign government that a public official who signed or certified the document is in good standing. Make sure your document

has an original signature and is properly notarized by a currently commissioned Arkansas Notary Public, or

is an official certified copy of Arkasas Vital Record (certified copies of birth certificates, death certificates or marriage certificates) signed by the Registrar of the Arkansas Health Department, Bureau of Vital Statistics, or

is an official Arkansas court document, or

is issued by Arkansas Secretary of State

Arkansas apostille tips:

Arkansas law does not allow notaries to make and certify copies of vital records (birth, death certificates) and other public records. Copies of vital records need to be obtained through the vital records division of the Health Department.

If the document is in a foreign language, it will need to be translated to English before the Secretary of State’s Office can issue an apostille.

Documents must be correctly notarized with a jurat or acknowledgment statement. The jurat or acknowledgment statement should be for each individual signature.

Academic documents such as diplomas, transcripts, verification letters and general school records issued  high schools, colleges, and universities of Arkansas, must be certified by the school registrar, and notarized prior to be presented for apostille.
