Notarized in Utah: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Utah, the apostille is issued by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Salt Lake City.
- Hague Convention destination: the Utah apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Utah-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 Utah 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 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.
