Rules for Divorce Decree
Document Must Be Certified and Signed by the Correct Official
The Arizona Secretary of State can only authenticate signatures from specific officials. For a court-issued document like a Divorce Decree, the signature must be from a Clerk of the Court, a Deputy Clerk of the Court, or a Judge. The document must be a certified copy with the court's seal.
The Signature Must Be Original and Verifiable
The official's signature on the document must be an original. The Arizona SOS will not accept electronic signatures or documents where the signature is stamped or printed. They verify the signature against a sample on file.
Complete the Request Form/Include Contact Information
While a specific form is not always mandatory, you must include a letter or a completed "Apostille Cover Sheet" (available on their website) with clear instructions and your complete return address and contact information.
Include Correct Payment
The fee is $3.00 per apostille. Payment must be by check, money order, or cashier's check payable to the "Arizona Secretary of State." Cash and credit cards are not accepted for mailed requests.
