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