An apostille is a form of authentication issued for documents intended for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. It verifies the origin of the public document, certifying the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document acted, and the identity of any stamp or seal.
Without an apostille, your Montana-issued documents may not be accepted abroad for legal, academic, or business purposes. Apostilles are internationally recognized and eliminate the need for further embassy or consular legalization.
In accordance with the Montana Secretary of State, documents eligible for an apostille include, but are not limited to:

What is the Montana Secretary of State’s role in the apostille process?
The Montana Secretary of State is the issuing authority for apostilles on public documents. They verify the notary public or official’s credentials before attaching the apostille certificate.

Only certified copies or original documents are eligible. Photocopies must be notarized by a Montana notary public before being considered.

No. The document must be issued or notarized within Montana to qualify for authentication by the Montana Secretary of State.
