Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the North Carolina Birth Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Birth Certificate
Use the Correct Document
You must submit a "Certified Copy" issued by the North Carolina State Registrar of Vital Records (part of the NC Department of Health and Human Services) or a Register of Deeds in the county where the birth occurred. It must have the original raised seal and signature from the Registrar.
No Notarization Required (Do Not Do It)
You should NOT have your certified North Carolina birth certificate notarized. The apostille is placed directly on the certified vital record itself, authenticating the signature of the state or county official. 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 Request Form
You must include a completed "Authentication/Apostille Request Form" with your submission. This form provides your contact information and details for the apostille.
Include Payment and Return Envelope
Submit the correct fee (check or money order payable to "North Carolina Secretary of State") and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
