Indiana apostille tips:

Indiana apostilles cannot be issued for birth and death certificates that are issued by the county.  For authentication purposes, Indiana State Vital Records must issue these records. The Indiana State Vital Records Office no longer offers walk-in services.  All certified birth and death certificates must be ordered by mail.

If the document is a court issued document - marriage licenses or divorce decrees - you must obtain a certified copy from the Circuit Court clerk in the county in which the document was recorded.

Documents notarized by an Indiana notary public: a notary must:

• Witness the signing of the original signature;
• Print their name exactly as listed on his/her notary commission paper;
• Place their original signature below the printed name on the documents;
• Expiration date of their notary commission;
• County of residence;
• Place the date he or she is signing the document to prove their notary commission is active on date signed; and
• Place a notary public seal.

Your documents may be in a foreign language. However, the notarial statement must be in English.

Diplomas and transcripts should be properly certified by School Regisrar and his/her signature must be notarized by an Indiana notary.
