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