Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Idaho Death Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Death Certificate
Must Be a Certified Copy
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Idaho Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics (Idaho Department of Health and Welfare). It must have the official seal and the signature of the State Registrar.
Certificate Must Be Recent
Idaho enforces a strict recency requirement. The certification date on the vital record must be within one year of the date it is submitted to the Idaho Secretary of State for the apostille.
Do Not Notarize the Certificate
The certified death certificate itself should not be notarized. The apostille is applied based on the signature of the State Registrar. Notarizing it is an incorrect step that will cause rejection.
Complete the Request Package
Ensure your submission includes all required elements: The original, recent, certified death certificate. A completed "Apostille/Authentication Cover Sheet" (available on the ID Secretary of State website). The correct fee (check the ID Secretary of State website for the current fee). A self-addressed, stamped envelope for return shipping.
