Do you need to obtain an apostille on a Death Certificate?

If your family member passed away abroad, to settle his/her estate and/or inheritance in a foreign country an apostilled Death Certificate is required. You will also need to obtain an apostille on a Death Certificate for transporting the remains of a deceased internationally, or for re-marriage. 

A Death Certificate is usually issued by the County Clerk, Health Department, or a State Registrar. We can process an apostille on a Death Certificate issued by any of these offices as long as it was issued in the United States.

You will need to mail to our office an original Death Certificate, or a certified copy issued by the County Clerk, Health Department, or State Registrar. An apostille on a Death Certificate is always obtained in the same state where a document was issued. So, if you have a New York issued Death Certificate, it will be apostilled in the State of New York. 

If you need an apostille on vital records, you must provide the original document. Remember, that no vital record can be copied, sent by email, or notarized. When choosing an apostille service company, never trust the agencies who claim they can issue an apostille on a copy of a Death Certificate submitted by email or uploaded to their website. The Secretary of State accepts only the original documents for an apostille, no exceptions!
