Notarized in Oklahoma: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Oklahoma, the apostille is issued by the Oklahoma Secretary of State in Oklahoma City.
- Hague Convention destination: the Oklahoma apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Oklahoma-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Oklahoma Secretary of State directly. Once your document has its Oklahoma 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 Oklahoma Secretary of State can do
The Oklahoma Secretary of State in Oklahoma City issues apostilles for documents signed by Oklahoma officials — birth, death and marriage certificates from Oklahoma registrars, Oklahoma state-court records, and documents notarized by Oklahoma notaries. It has no authority over federal documents such as FBI reports, USCIS certificates or IRS letters.
