How to Apostille a Document in Vermont

Vermont Apostille Support by apostillea

Whether you’re using a birth certificate, court record, diploma, or notarized document abroad, Vermont requires authentication from the Secretary of State’s Office (VSARA). apostillea.com acts as your private intermediary—reviewing documents, coordinating notarization, submitting to state archives, and delivering finalized apostilles.

What Is an Apostille and Why It’s Required

An apostille, established under the Hague Apostille Convention, certifies the authenticity of official signatures, seals, or positions on public documents for international use. In Vermont, VSARA handles issuance on behalf of the Secretary of State. With apostillea.com, you’re guided throughout the entire process to ensure your documents are internationally valid.

Eligible Vermont Documents for Apostille

Here are common Vermont documents eligible for apostille:

  • Certified public records: official copies issued by governmental bodies or courts—birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates, and court orders
  • Notarial acts: documents notarized by Vermont Notaries Public who meet state standards. Examples: affidavits, powers of attorney, diplomas with registrar attestation
  • Business documents: corporate records such as certificates of incorporation, good-standing certificates, or certified copies of filings from the Vermont Secretary of State’s Business Services Division

apostillea.com ensures each document is the correct type, fully notarized, and appropriately certified before initiating the apostille request.

Apostille vs. Authentication Certificate

An apostille is accepted in Hague Convention countries. For non-Hague nations, Vermont issues an authentication certificate instead. apostillea helps determine which certification you need and handles the paperwork accordingly.
