Documents Indiana can apostille

Indiana birth and death certificates
Marriage licenses
Divorce decrees
Adoption papers
School transcripts and diplomas/degrees
Notarized documents with a properly completed notarial certificate

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 Indiana apostille cost through Trilogy?

Our Indiana apostille service starts at $347 per document. That price includes the Indiana government fee of $2 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 Indiana?

The Indiana Secretary of State, Business Division (Authentications). 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 Indiana require before it will apostille a document?

Submit the original or a certified copy, the destination country, and a completed Request for Apostille Authentication (State Form 56720). Marriage licenses must first be certified by the current circuit court clerk of the county where the marriage occurred. We check for these before anything is filed.

Can Indiana 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 Indiana 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, Indiana issues this instead of a standard apostille: Same single certificate for all countries (Model Apostille Single Certificate format since July 1, 2022). 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 Indiana apostille take?

As published by the state when we checked on October 29, 2026: In person: up to 10 documents while you wait with an appointment, up to 5 without. Documents received by noon are mailed the next business day; after noon, within two business days. Requests over 30 documents may take longer. 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.
