Rules for Birth Certificate
No Notarization Required (Do Not Do It)
Unlike some states, you should NOT have your certified Arizona birth certificate notarized. The apostille will be placed directly on the certified vital record itself, authenticating the signature of the State Registrar. Submitting a notarized copy will likely result in rejection.
Ensure the Document is Original and Unaltered
The certified copy must be in its original condition. Do not staple, tape, or hole-punch the document. The raised seal and signature must be completely visible and intact.
Complete the Cover Sheet
You must include a completed "Apostille Cover Sheet" or a written request with your submission. This provides your contact information and return address.
Include Payment and Return Envelope
Submit the correct fee (check, money order, or credit card authorization form) and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
