Need an apostille for your birth certificate? VISADC—A Washington Travel & Passport Visa Service—simplifies the process. We provide nationwide apostille services across all 50 states, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories.
An apostille is a certification that verifies the authenticity of your birth certificate for use in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. It’s commonly required for:
Dual Citizenship Applications
International Marriage or Divorce Proceedings
Inheritance and Estate Matters Abroad
Property Transactions Overseas
Retirement Planning Outside the U.S.
School or Work Visas
Each U.S. state has its own rules for issuing apostilles. You must obtain the apostille from the state where the birth certificate was issued.
Example: A New Jersey birth certificate must be apostilled by New Jersey, not by Virginia, DC, or any other state.
Not all birth certificates automatically qualify for an apostille. Some key requirements include:
Recent Issuance: States like Virginia and Wisconsin only apostille birth certificates issued within the last 12 months.
Proper Issuing Authority: Some states reject certificates issued by local County Clerks or Health Departments.
Original or Certified Copy: You must submit a valid original or certified copy from the appropriate state or county authority.
