Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Nevada Birth Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Birth Certificate
Use the Correct Document
You must submit a "Certified Copy" issued by the Nevada Office of Vital Statistics (within the Department of Health and Human Services) or a County Recorder's office. It must have the original raised seal and signature from the State Registrar or County Official.
No Notarization Required (Do Not Do It)
You should NOT have your certified Nevada 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 "Secretary of State") and a self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your document.
