What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of a document for use in another country. It confirms the validity of the signature, seal, or stamp so the document can be legally recognized internationally. Apostilles are used for countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention, eliminating the need for additional legalization.
Our Apostille Process
Getting an apostille does not have to be complicated. First Choice Notary handles the entire process for you, from document review to final certification, making sure everything is completed correctly and efficiently.
Free Document Review
We start by reviewing your documents to confirm they meet all Kentucky apostille service requirements. If something is off, we will tell you exactly what needs to be fixed before we submit anything.
Document Preparation & Notarization (If Required)
Some documents need notarization before they qualify for an apostille. If yours fall into that category, we connect you with a mobile notary or walk you through the preparation steps.
Apostille Submission
We submit your documents to the Kentucky Secretary of State's office for official apostille certification. No wrong office, no guesswork.

We keep an eye on your request from submission to completion and send you updates along the way. If anything comes up, we handle it before it becomes a problem.
