Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Indiana Death Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Death Certificate
Must Be a Certified Copy
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Indiana Department of Health, Vital Records Division or a County Health Department. It must have the official seal and the signature of the State Registrar or local registrar.
Certificate Must Be Recent
Indiana 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 Indiana 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 vital records official. 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 "Authentication / Apostille Request Form" (available on the IN Secretary of State website). The correct fee (check the IN Secretary of State website for the current fee). A self-addressed, stamped envelope for return shipping.
