What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certification that validates the authenticity of a document for international use. It’s like an official seal issued by a designated authority in Alaska. This seal confirms that the signatures and seals on the document are genuine, eliminating the need for further authentication from foreign embassies or consulates.
Essentially, an apostille streamlines the process of document legalization, making it easier to use official paperwork in other countries.

The State of Alaska allows various types of documents to be apostilled, including:

For original documents, make sure you meet the following:
- You have an original document or duplicate issued by the State
- Appropriate signature is provided
- Original document was recently issued
The Alaska Secretary of State apostilles public and private documents with the following:
- Principal’s signature (person whose signature is notarized)
- A notarial certificate

- An imprint of the notary’s seal
Most original documents can be apostilled in about 4-10 business days.
Please note:
An embossed seal must be shaded over with pencil or ink to comply with laws in Alaska.
Scanned Photocopy of Original Document
When original documents are not available, scanned photocopies may be accepted in some situations.
You will only be able to apostille a scanned copy if:
- Appropriate signature is NOT provided
- Original document is damaged
- Original document was issued over 10 years ago
- Destination foreign country ACCEPTS apostilles of the scanned photocopy of the original document; most countries do accept an apostille of the scanned photocopy
