STATE AUTHORITY
Minnesota apostille authority
Minnesota requirements to know
- State- or county-issued certified documents (e.g., birth, death, marriage certificates, divorce decrees) do not need notarization but must be original certified copies issued in Minnesota, not photocopies.
- All other documents (e.g., affidavits, diplomas, transcripts) must be properly notarized by a Minnesota notary public with an original wet-ink signature and stamp.
- Requests can be submitted by mail with payment and documents, or by scheduling an in-person appointment.
- Acceptable payment includes personal or business check, cashier's check, money order (payable to MN Secretary of State), or cash.
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.
