Notarized in Tennessee: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Tennessee, the apostille is issued by the Tennessee Secretary of State in Nashville.
- Hague Convention destination: the Tennessee apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Tennessee-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Tennessee Secretary of State directly. Once your document has its Tennessee authentication, we handle the U.S. Department of State and embassy steps for non-Hague destinations ($399).
Get the notarial wording right before signing — requirements vary by destination, and a mistake means redoing the whole chain.
