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