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

What the Nevada Secretary of State can do
The Nevada Secretary of State in Carson City issues apostilles for documents signed by Nevada officials — birth, death and marriage certificates from Nevada registrars, Nevada state-court records, and documents notarized by Nevada notaries. It has no authority over federal documents such as FBI reports, USCIS certificates or IRS letters.
