Why living in Utah doesn’t change the route
This document is issued by Federal Aviation Administration, a federal authority. Federal documents are authenticated only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — the Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Salt Lake City has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.
So the process for Utah residents is the same as for anyone else in the country: get the document to us, we hand-deliver it in Washington, and it comes back ready to use.

What the Office of the Lieutenant Governor can do
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Salt Lake City issues apostilles for documents signed by Utah officials — birth, death and marriage certificates from Utah registrars, Utah state-court records, and documents notarized by Utah 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.
