Documents Arizona can apostille

Original notarized documents (Arizona notary public)
Certified recorded documents
Documents certified by Arizona court clerks
Documents certified by Arizona state document custodians

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.

Common questions

How much does an Arizona apostille cost through Trilogy?

Our Arizona apostille service starts at $348 per document. That price includes the Arizona government fee of $3 per document, plus courier filing, return shipping, and handling. Sales tax, if it applies, and any deposit are shown at checkout before you pay.

Who issues apostilles in Arizona?

The Arizona Secretary of State, Business Services Division. Trilogy Notary Services is a private document services company: we prepare and submit your request and track it, but the apostille itself is issued by the state office.

What does Arizona require before it will apostille a document?

Submit the original notarized or certified recorded document; a photocopy is unacceptable. Documents recorded by another state are not accepted; the issuing state must certify them. We check for these before anything is filed.

Can Arizona apostille an FBI background check or another federal document?

No. Documents issued and signed by a federal agency, such as an FBI background check, are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not by the Arizona Secretary of State. We handle those through our federal apostille service.

What if my destination country is not in the Hague Apostille Convention?

For non-Hague countries, Arizona issues this instead of a standard apostille: Certificate of Authentication. Many non-Hague countries then require embassy or consulate legalization, which we handle through our embassy legalization service. Tell us the destination country when you book.

How long does an Arizona apostille take?

As published by the state when we checked on October 29, 2026: 10-20 business days (by mail). Add time for document preparation and shipping both ways. Government processing times change and are outside our control, so we don't promise a delivery date.
