South Carolina

The South Carolina Secretary of State issues apostilles in Columbia. Notarized documents generally go direct; certified vital records come from the SC Department of Public Health’s Vital Records section (DHEC split into two agencies in 2024, and vital records landed with the new Department of Public Health).

State fee: $5 per document. Full-service timing: one to three weeks depending on the state (call us and we’ll tell you where yours currently stands). Pricing: rates page.

BMW-corridor manufacturing documents for European partners, port-of-Charleston trade paperwork, and adoption documents make up the South Carolina flow. European destinations are uniformly Hague members, so the apostille path covers nearly all of it. /order/ or (212) 245-9690.
