Document Categories Eligible for Apostille in Colorado
The Colorado Secretary of State authenticates a wide range of public and notarized private documents for the apostille certification. Popular categories include:
- Personal records such as birth, death, and marriage certificates.
- Academic documents such as degrees, diplomas, transcripts, and enrollment verification letters.
- Business filings such as articles of incorporation, bylaws, powers of attorney, and board resolutions.
- Court-issued papers such as affidavits, decrees, orders, and judgments.
We carefully check each document type against state requirements before submission, securing proper certification or notarization where applicable.
How the Apostille Process Works in Colorado
The designated state authority for international document authentication is the Colorado Secretary of State’s office in Denver. For destination countries that follow the Hague Convention, a single-page apostille certification is attached to confirm the paperwork’s authenticity upon verification.
If you plan to use a document in a non-member country of the treaty, an authentication certificate is issued instead. After that, you must complete additional steps, including further verification at the federal level and legalization through the relevant consular office.
