STATE AUTHORITY

Kansas apostille authority

Kansas requirements to know

Kansas court-document requests must include the printed name/title of the signing court official (e.g., deputy clerk) on Form DC, and that official's signature must be on file with the Secretary of State.
Vital records (birth, marriage, death certificates, divorce decrees) must be certified copies from the issuing Kansas authority before submission.
Other documents must be notarized by a Kansas notary public, and foreign-language documents are accepted only if the notarization itself is in English.
Requests are accepted by mail; the office does not offer an online submission portal for apostille requests.

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.
