Rules for Power of Attorney
Missouri issues apostilles/authentications via the Secretary of State.
Apostilles or certifications are issued for Missouri-notarized or Missouri-certified documents by the Secretary of State’s office.
Documents eligible include notarized or certified Missouri public documents
POAs, vital records, court records, corporate papers, diplomas/transcripts (if proper certified), and other notarized documents are eligible.
Notarized documents must include proper notarial elements
Must have valid notarial acknowledgement, notary’s signature and seal, and notarization must be done by a Missouri-commissioned notary.
Photocopies are generally not accepted unless they are certified copies
For vital records, court or official documents you must submit certified copies from the issuing Missouri authority; scanned/photocopies or uncertified copies are not valid.
Apostille fees
Secretary of State charges $10 per apostille/authentication for eligible Missouri documents.
Submission requirements: include cover letter, payment, return envelope
When mailing or delivering, supply a cover letter, payment (check/money order/card), and a pre-addressed return envelope or shipping label.
Apostille only certifies the signature/seal, not content
The apostille confirms the authenticity of the signer and seal — it does not attest to the truth of the document’s content.
Only Missouri-issued documents are eligible for apostille
Documents issued or notarized outside Missouri must be apostilled/authenticated in their state of origin.
