A birth certificate is one of the most commonly apostilled documents. It’s frequently required for dual citizenship, immigration, marriage abroad, residency, school enrollment, and international work or travel. But the rules are specific, and sending the wrong version can lead to a rejection.
To be eligible for an apostille, your birth certificate must:
- Be an original or certified copy
- Be issued by the state’s vital records office or appropriate local authority
- Often be a recent copy, depending on the country’s requirements
Photocopies or hospital-issued keepsake certificates are not acceptable for apostille.
Because apostilles must be issued by the state where the document originated, a Texas birth certificate must be apostilled in Texas, a Florida one in Florida, and so on—no matter where you currently live.
