Arizona Apostille Services

Arizona Apostille Requirements

Before submission to the Arizona Secretary of State apostille office, documents must meet specific preparation standards. Being aware of these details ahead of time helps avoid delays caused by missing notarization, certification errors, or the wrong document selection.

• Vital records. Birth and marriage certificates require official certified copies issued by the Arizona Office of Vital Records or a county recorder. Photocopies will not be accepted for processing.
• Notarized documents. Powers of attorney, affidavits, corporate resolutions, and similar instruments must be signed and sealed by a commissioned Arizona Notary Public or an authorized public official. The document’s notarization must be valid at the time of submission.
• Academic documents. A school official’s signature alone may not be sufficient. Diplomas and transcripts often require notarization by a school official before the Arizona Secretary of State’s authentication office will process them.

Why Choose One Source Process for Arizona Apostille

With One Source Process, your documents are reviewed for free before submission to check for missing signatures, incorrect notarization, outdated certifications, and formatting issues that could lead to rejection. This helps prevent common delays before the process begins.

From there, we route each document by type. State-issued documents are submitted to the Arizona Secretary of State apostille division, federal documents go to the U.S. Department of State, and embassy legalization is arranged for non-Hague countries when required.

Processing times vary based on urgency and availability, typically ranging from 4–14 business days. Rush options of 1–3 business days, as well as same-day processing, may be available in select cases.

We also offer certified translation in over 250 languages when needed, since some countries require documents and apostilles to be translated into the local language.

Once completed, your documents are returned safely via tracked FedEx or DHL delivery, both within the U.S. and internationally.
