Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Connecticut Birth Certificate Apostille Process

Original Document: Documents must be notarized by a Connecticut notary or certified by a Connecticut official
Copy Document: The copy must be accompanied by a written sworn statement affirming that the copy is true and accurate, and this statement must be signed under oath before a Connecticut Notary Public.

Rules for Birth Certificate

  • Use the Correct Document

    You must submit a "Certified Copy" issued by the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH), Vital Records Unit, or a Connecticut town vital records office. It must have the original raised seal and signature from the Registrar.

  • No Notarization Required (Do Not Do It)

    You should NOT have your certified Connecticut birth certificate notarized. The apostille is placed directly on the certified vital record itself, authenticating the signature of the Registrar. Notarizing it will cause 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 seal and signature must be completely visible.

  • Complete the Request Form

    You must include a completed "Document Authentication Request Form" with your submission. This form provides your contact information and return address.

  • Include Payment and Return Envelope

    Submit the correct fee (check or money order payable to "Secretary of the State") and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
