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

Rules for Birth Certificate

  • Use the Correct Document

    You must submit a "Certified Copy" issued by the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics. It must have the original raised seal and signature from the State Registrar.

  • No Notarization Required (Do Not Do It)

    You should NOT have your certified Kentucky birth certificate notarized. The apostille is placed directly on the certified vital record itself, authenticating the signature of the State 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 raised seal and signature must be completely visible and intact.
