Frequently asked questions

Michigan Apostille Services refers to the apostille process for this specific document or service need. The correct process depends on the document source, destination country, and whether notarization, certification, translation, or legalization is required.

Some private documents need notarization first, but vital records and many government-issued records usually need certified copies instead. The safest approach is to review the document before notarizing or mailing it.

Many apostille requests can be handled by mail when the document is properly prepared and eligible for the requested destination country.

Make sure the document is the correct version, properly certified or notarized, connected to the correct state or federal authority, and submitted for the correct destination country.

Translation requirements depend on the receiving country and agency. Some want the original document apostilled first, while others may require a notarized translation certification.

No. Apostilles are generally used for Hague countries. Non-Hague countries may require authentication and embassy or consulate legalization instead.
