How Alaska residents get their Power of Attorney authenticated for use abroad — which office handles it, what the Office of the Lieutenant Governor can and can’t do, timing and price.

Notarized in Alaska: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Alaska, the apostille is issued by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Juneau.
- Hague Convention destination: the Alaska apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Alaska-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor directly. Once your document has its Alaska 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.
About the Power of Attorney
How to apostille a power of attorney for use abroad — properly notarized and certified for federal authentication.
What the Office of the Lieutenant Governor can do
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Juneau issues apostilles for documents signed by Alaska officials — birth, death and marriage certificates from Alaska registrars, Alaska state-court records, and documents notarized by Alaska notaries. It has no authority over federal documents such as FBI reports, USCIS certificates or IRS letters.
State offices set their own procedures and fees, so confirm current requirements with the office before submitting a state document.
