Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Mississippi Birth Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Birth Certificate
Use the Correct Document
You must submit a "Certified Copy" issued by the Mississippi State Department of Health, Vital Records Office. 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 Mississippi 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.
Complete the Cover Sheet
You must include a completed "Apostille/Authentication Request Form" or a detailed cover letter with your submission, providing your contact information and return address.
Include Payment and Return Envelope
Submit the correct fee (check or money order payable to "Mississippi Secretary of State") and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
