Documents Alaska can apostille

• Documents notarized by a commissioned Alaska notary
• Certified copies of Alaska Vital Records
• Court documents
• Other state documents whose signing officials' signatures are on file
• School transcripts and diplomas using the registrar's notarized copy certification
• Copy Certification by Document Custodian documents

The issuing state is what matters, not where you live now. A document issued or notarized in another state goes to that state's office, and documents from federal agencies go to the U.S. Department of State through our federal apostille service.

Alaska requirements to check before you book

• Only original wet-ink signatures are authenticated; photocopies of signatures are not accepted.Source
• Notarizations must include the principal's signature, a notarial certificate, the notary's signature, commission expiration date, and a reproducible seal imprint (embossed seals must be shaded).Source
• The destination country must be stated; orders not for legitimate foreign use are rejected.Source
• Older certified copies may bear signatures that cannot be authenticated; obtain fresh certified copies if needed.Source
• International return shipments require pre-paid, pre-addressed mailers included with the order.Source

Good to know

• Certificates are permanently attached with a metal eyelet; keep copies before sending.
• Send complete documents, not just the notarized pages; each original needing a certificate must be separately notarized.
• Photocopies of Alaska Vital Statistics documents cannot be authenticated.
• For U.S. use the office offers a Certificate of Good Standing instead of an Apostille.

About our Alaska apostille service

How it works

1. Book onlineChoose the option that matches your document and destination, then tell us the document type, the country where it will be used, and your deadline.
2. We review your document firstBefore anything is filed, we check it against the Alaska requirements on this page. If a step is missing, such as a notarization or a certified copy, we tell you what's needed before we file.
3. Send your original or meet a notaryWe send mailing instructions after you book. If your document still needs to be signed and notarized, one of our mobile notaries can meet you, or you can use remote online notarization where it's accepted.
4. We file and track itWe submit your request to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor with the government fee and follow it until the office releases it.
5. We ship it backYour documents come back by tracked shipping. If your destination also needs embassy legalization or a certified translation, we can handle that next.

Pricing

$350 per document.

Prices include the Alaska state fee, courier filing, return shipping, and handling. Sales tax is added at checkout where it applies, and any deposit is shown before you pay. If you have more than one document, tell us the count when you book and we'll confirm your total.

Government processing times are set by the issuing office and change during the year. We don't promise a delivery date that depends on a government office, and we'll tell you the current timing when we review your order.
