Alabama

Alabama apostilles come from the Secretary of State in Montgomery, and Alabama is a state where the county step matters: notarized documents typically need certification by the probate judge in the county where the notary is commissioned before Montgomery will apostille them. That’s the step that catches people mailing documents in themselves. We check your document’s chain first, run the county step when it’s needed, and courier the finished apostille back tracked.

Vital records need to be certified copies from the Alabama Department of Public Health or the county health department, with a current registrar signature. The state fee is $5 per document, our flat service price is on the rates page, and typical door-to-door time is one to three weeks depending on the state (call us and we’ll tell you where yours currently stands).

Most Alabama orders we see: birth certificates for dual citizenship, powers of attorney for overseas property, and university documents from Auburn and Tuscaloosa heading to foreign employers. Start at /order/ or call (212) 245-9690.
