Guidelines for Apostille Stamp in Alaska from the Office of the Lieutenant Governor

Documents must have been issued in recent years, older originals are not accepted.

Alaska documents must have original signatures and be properly notarized by an Alaska notary public.

For multiple authenticated copies of the same document, create duplicate originals and notarize each copy separately.

Ensure notarizations meet statutory requirements: principal's signature, notarial certificate, notary's signature, commission expiration date, and reproducible notary's seal.

Screen documents before mailing; verify notaries are actively commissioned.

Certified copies of vital records can be obtained from the Alaska Vital Records office, Alaska Department of Health, or from VitalChek

Certified copies of court documents can be obtained from the Alaska Court System website.

In Alaska, notaries can't directly certify documents.

Anyone except a notary can certify a copy using "Copy Certification by Document Custodian."

The custodian signs a statement, notarized by a notary, certifying the copy's authenticity.

Copying Alaska Vital Statistics documents is illegal, notarized copies aren't accepted by the Lt. Governor.

How to get an apostille in Alaska?

Alaskans use apostilles to certify documents for use in foreign countries. The apostille verifies the legality of signatures and seals on official documents such as birth certificates and diplomas.

To obtain an apostille in Alaska, first, ensure your documents have original signatures and proper notarization. Contact the Notary Administrator for guidance about notarization if needed. Order the certified copies of the documents where they are issued.

When documents are prepared, submit them along with the completed apostille request form and fees. You can use both mail and office submissions as per your choice. If you use mail service, ensure to include a prepaid self-return address. Ensure to include the word authentication on the envelope for faster processing.

If you want to submit documents to the office, submit them to the Lt. Governor's Office in Juneau. Once received, the Lt. Governor's Office will process your order, attaching the necessary certificates. Before using your apostilled documents abroad, verify with the receiving country's authorities that Alaska's apostille meets their requirements.

How much does it cost to obtain an Alaska apostille?

Apostille in Alaska costs $5.00 for each certificate. Money orders, cashier's checks, Visa, Mastercard, and personal checks are accepted forms of payment. Checks should be made payable to the "State of Alaska." The overall cost is based on the number of certifications required, which is determined by the number of documents and notaries. A single-page document notarized by one notary, for example, needs one certificate ($5), but a multi-page document notarized by two distinct notaries needs two certificates ($10). $25.00 would be the total cost for all documents. If you choose expedited services, the prices may increase.

How long does it take to get an apostille certification from the Office of the Lt. Governor?

The apostille certification from the Office of the Lt. Governor can take up to 2 to 3 business days plus the mailing time. The Office of the Lt. Governor usually tries to process orders the same day they are received. Return shipping within the US is done via first-class USPS mail, and it usually takes two to three days in Alaska and a few days longer elsewhere. If additional certification and notarization are needed for the documents, this time frame may change. The volume of requests, document complexity, and other factors may also cause the time duration to increase.

Copy Certification of Alaska Documents by the Document Custodian

During this process, the custodian (owner) confirms that a photocopy is an accurate copy of the original document. Notaries cannot immediately certify documents in Alaska, unlike in other states in the US. Instead, the custodian is responsible for ensuring the copy's accuracy.

Copy certification of the documents is the statement sealed and signed by the custodian (owner), confirming it as the original true copy of the documents, and then notarized by the notary.

To use this procedure, make a photocopy, attach the CCBDC notarial certificate, and have a commissioned notary public notarize the custodian's signature. When the destination country accepts CCBDC for authentication, this procedure is appropriate. CCBDC and notary certificates are both useful in determining document authenticity.

While CCBDC is based on the custodian's affirmation, notary certification requires the notary to directly authenticate the document's authenticity where available. Both procedures guarantee the dependability and correctness of certified documents.

Globeia simplifies the procedure and provides you with the assistance you need to successfully manage challenging legal responsibilities. Trust Globeia to fulfill your document apostille requirements.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can the Lt. Governor certify Alaska court documents or court officials' notarizations?

Yes, the Lt. Governor can authenticate official certified copies of court documents and duly notarized documents signed by court officials, as long as they are on file. For court documents, it is beneficial if the clerk inserts the signer's name beneath their signature or offers identification.

Is it necessary for a notarized document to include a jurat or acknowledgment for apostille in Alaska?

Yes, for an apostille in Alaska, a document usually requires either a jurat, in which the signer takes an oath before the notary and signs in their presence, or an acknowledgment, in which the signer acknowledges their voluntary signature, even if it is not in front of the notary.

Can the Alaska Lieutenant Governor authenticate signatures using photocopies?

No, only original signatures are valid for apostille seals in Alaska. If additional authenticated copies are required, duplicate originals must be notarized separately, or the state must issue officially certified copies for each copy.

Can documents notarized by non-commissioned notaries be authenticated?

Not usually. Non-commissioned notaries' signatures typically cannot be authenticated unless they are certain court employee signatures. It's advised to use commissioned notaries whenever possible.

How can I ensure my documents meet the requirements before submitting them?

You can screen your documents before mailing your order. Ensure that the notarizations are complete and comply with statutory requirements. You can also email images of the notarizations/signatures for screening before sending your order to the Lieutenant Governor’s office, or contact Globeia for assistance in verifying your documents.

Can Globeia check my documents before submitting them for apostille in Alaska?
