FAQs

What is an Out-of-State Apostille?

An Out-of-State Apostille is an authentication certificate issued by a state other than Wisconsin for documents that originated or were notarized outside of Wisconsin. For example, if your birth certificate was issued in Illinois or your university diploma is from California, the apostille must come from that state’s Secretary of State office.

Can Wisconsin Apostille Agent process documents from other states?

Yes! Wisconsin Apostille Agent coordinates apostilles for all 49 other U.S. states. We manage the process through our trusted nationwide network of couriers, state offices, and partners to ensure your documents are authenticated correctly and accepted internationally.

What kinds of documents can be apostilled from other states?

Typical out-of-state documents include:
Birth, marriage, or death certificates
Academic diplomas or transcripts
Corporate filings (Articles of Incorporation, Good Standing Certificates)
Power of Attorney or notarized affidavits
Adoption, custody, or court records
Professional licenses or background checks
If you’re unsure whether your document qualifies, our team can review it for you before you order.

Do I need to mail my original documents?

Yes. Most states require original or certified copies of the document. Once you place your order, we’ll provide detailed mailing instructions for the specific state and document type to avoid delays or rejections.

How long does the Out-of-State Apostille process take?

Processing times vary by state.
Standard Service: 2–4 weeks on average
Expedited Options: Available for select states (like Illinois, California, and New York) through our courier partners – These are additional fees. We can give you an estimated completion time and custom price before your order is finalized.

What’s the difference between a Wisconsin apostille and an out-of-state apostille?

The key difference is where your document originated.
If your document was issued or notarized in Wisconsin → it must receive a Wisconsin Apostille.
If it was issued in another U.S. state → it must receive that state’s apostille, which we can coordinate for you.

Can I get multiple state apostilles at once?

Absolutely. If you have documents from different states (for example, a birth certificate from Illinois and a diploma from Texas), we can handle both in one simple order. Each document will be routed to the correct state for authentication.
