Who can apostille
a document in USA?


There are only two government entities that can issue apostilles or authentication certifications in the USA.

A Secretary of State office in all fifty U.S states can issue state-level apostilles and authentication certificates for documents that originated or were issued from that state.

This is done at the Texas Secretary of State for documents that were issued or originated in the State of Texas.

Lastly, the U.S Department of State in Washington D.C can issue federal-level apostille and authentication certificates on only federally issued documents or documents being submitted to non-Hague Convention member countries.
