Notarized in Louisiana: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Louisiana, the apostille is issued by the Louisiana Secretary of State in Baton Rouge.
- Hague Convention destination: the Louisiana apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Louisiana-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Louisiana Secretary of State directly. Once your document has its Louisiana 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.
