Apostille for Birth Certificate
in the United States

If you were born in the United States and need to use your birth certificate abroad, you will most likely need an apostille. This official certification confirms that your U.S.-issued document is authentic and legally valid in any country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Whether you're applying for dual citizenship, studying overseas, getting married abroad, or completing immigration procedures, a properly apostilled birth certificate is essential.

When Do You Need an Apostille for a Birth Certificate?
There are many situations in which foreign authorities require a U.S. birth certificate to be apostilled:

• Immigration applications (yours or your child’s)
• International marriage registration
• Obtaining dual citizenship
• School or university enrollment overseas
• Visa or work permit applications
• Inheritance or legal matters abroad

If you're presenting your birth certificate outside the United States, most government agencies and institutions will not accept the document unless it’s been officially authenticated through the apostille process.

Requirements for Apostilling a U.S. Birth Certificate
Not all birth certificates qualify for apostille. The document must meet the following conditions:

• It must be a certified copy issued by the state’s Department of Health or Vital Records Office
• Photocopies or hospital-issued certificates (with footprints) are not acceptable
• The document must be issued within the state where the apostille will be processed

Each U.S. state handles its own apostille requests for documents it issued. For example, if your birth certificate was issued in California, it must be apostilled by the California Secretary of State.
We provide nationwide apostille services, so no matter where your certificate was issued, we can help.
