1) Each document must be notarized notary public:

  • Using a notary commissioned by the county? Certify your document at the clerk of court then the secretary of state.

  • Using a notary commissioned by the state? Certify your document at the secretary of state.

We must be sure of correct notarization(s) before we submit your documents and begin with the process of your request.

2) All seals and signatures must be originals

  • We cannot accept copies unless they are “true certified copies” from a notary public or authorized official. Birth, marriage, and death certificates, divorce decrees, court documents, and federally-issued documents cannot be certified by a notary public as “true copies.” These documents must be certified by the proper authorities
