New Mexico requirements to know

  • The Secretary of State's office is the only office in New Mexico authorized to issue apostilles/certifications for notarized documents or public documents going to a foreign country.
  • Documents submitted must be originals or certified copies; copies alone will be rejected.
  • Only one document may be submitted per request form; a separate form is required for each apostille or authentication requested.
  • Requests can be submitted by mail to the Business Services Division in Santa Fe or through the online Business Services Online Filings Portal.

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.
