In the Lone Star State, apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State’s Authentications Unit in Austin. That means San Antonio documents must follow the same Texas apostille requirements as requests from elsewhere in the state. Through our apostille service for U.S. documents, we can manage the paperwork and state filing on your behalf, helping keep the process organized and on track.
The Austin Authentications Unit
The Austin office accepts apostille submissions both by mail and in person. Before a document reaches this stage, it must already meet the certification, notarization, or issuing requirements that apply to its type.
Bexar County Certified Copies
Some records needed for a San Antonio apostille, including marriage certificates, are issued or certified at the county level rather than by the state. The first step is therefore getting the correct certified version from the appropriate Bexar County office.
Submitting from San Antonio
For a San Antonio apostille, traveling to the state authentication office may not be practical for every resident. Mail or a trackable courier can be a more convenient alternative, with courier delivery offering faster transit and better visibility along the way.
