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