Documents that need to be used outside of Missouri or the USA need to be apostilled or authenticated according to the destination country's requirements. To obtain an apostille in Missouri, start by preparing your documents according to the Missouri Secretary of State's guidelines.
Include the destination country name, your return address, and a contact phone number with your documents. Complete the apostille request form with all necessary information.
You can mail the documents or submit them in person to the Secretary of State's office. The fee, payable to the Secretary of State's office, can be completed through various forms of payment. The Secretary of State’s office will process your documents and attach the apostille if they verify the signatures of their officials, such as circuit clerks, judges, county clerks, or state registrars.
Follow these simple steps to obtain an apostille for your documents in Missouri.
