Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Connecticut Death Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Death Certificate
Must Be a Certified Copy
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Connecticut Department of Public Health, Vital Records Section. It must have the official seal and the signature of the Registrar. Photocopies or "funeral home copies" are not acceptable.
Certificate Must Be Recent
Connecticut has a firm recency requirement. The certification date on the death certificate must be within one year of the date it is submitted to the Secretary of the State for the apostille. This is strictly enforced.
Do Not Notarize the Certificate
The certified death certificate itself should not be notarized. Its validity for the apostille comes from the signature of the State Registrar. Notarizing it is an unnecessary step that will likely cause a rejection.
Complete the Request Package
Ensure your submission is complete to avoid delays or return: The original, recent, certified death certificate. A completed Authentication Request Form (available on the CT Secretary of the State website). The correct fee (check the CT Secretary of the State website for the current amount). A self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
