Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Arkansas Judgment of Divorce Apostille Process
Rules for Judgment of Divorce
Must Be a Certified Copy from the Court
You must submit an "Original Certified Copy" issued by the Circuit/County Clerk's office in the Arkansas county where the divorce was granted. A notarized photocopy, a file-stamped copy, or a copy certified by a notary public will be rejected.
Proper Signature and Seal
The document must be signed by the Circuit or County Clerk (or a deputy clerk) and must bear the official raised or stamped seal of that court. The certification should be recent.
Document Must Be Complete and Unaltered
The certified copy must be in pristine condition. It should have no tears, staple holes, or any handwritten alterations. If the decree is multiple pages, all pages must be bound and certified as one complete document by the court clerk.
Complete the Authentication Request Form
While not always mandatory, including a completed "Authentication Request Form" (available on their website) is highly recommended. It provides your contact information and ensures the apostille is returned to the correct address.
Correct Payment
The fee is $10.00 per apostille. Payment must be made by check, money order, or cashier's check payable to the "Arkansas Secretary of State". Cash is not accepted for mailed requests.
