STATE AUTHORITY

Mississippi requirements to know
- Documents must be notarized by a Mississippi notary public or bear the signature of a Mississippi public official.
- A notary who is not an employee of the issuing government agency cannot certify or authenticate copies of official government documents such as birth certificates, death certificates, driver's licenses, passports, or Social Security cards.
- Original documents must be sent, along with a completed information sheet and a check or money order payable to the Secretary of State.
- If using FedEx/UPS and wanting documents returned the same way, requesters must include a prepaid return FedEx/UPS envelope, or documents will be returned by regular mail.
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.
