ALABAMA APOSTILLE
Apostille Services in Alabama — Fast, Secure, Nationwide
Alabama issues apostilles through the Alabama Secretary of State. We handle Alabama-issued vital records, notarized affidavits, court documents, and corporate paperwork for clients across the state — Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, and beyond. Alabama vital records are held by the Alabama Department of Public Health in Montgomery, and must be certified state copies (not hospital souvenirs) before an apostille can be issued.
Service fee includes state filing fees and U.S. domestic return shipping via 2-day FedEx (UPS used for federal documents only). International return shipping available for an additional fee.
No payment required to request a quote. We confirm your document's processing route, total price, and estimated timeline before payment.

STATE AUTHORITY
Alabama apostille authority
Alabama requirements to know
- Apostilles are issued on documents signed by a currently commissioned Alabama notary public, probate judge, or the current Alabama State Registrar.
- Birth and death certificates must bear the signature of the current Alabama State Registrar — older certified copies may need to be reordered.
- The state requires its submittal form to accompany each request.
Once you have the eligible document, GFG can review it, coordinate the apostille process, and arrange tracked return shipping. Additional certification requirements may apply depending on how the document was issued.
