Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Nevada Death Certificate Apostille Process
Rules for Death Certificate
Must Be a Certified Copy
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Nevada Office of Vital Records (within the Department of Health and Human Services) or a County Recorder's Office. It must have the official seal and the signature of the State Registrar or County Recorder.
Certificate Must Be Recent
Nevada has a specific recency requirement. The certification date on the vital record must be within one year of the date it is submitted to the Nevada Secretary of State for the apostille.
Do Not Notarize the Certificate
The certified death certificate itself should not be notarized. The apostille is applied based on the signature of the vital records official. Notarizing it is an incorrect step that will cause rejection.

Ensure your submission includes all required elements: The original, recent, certified death certificate. The correct fee (check the NV Secretary of State website for the current fee). A cover letter with your contact information and the country of intended use. A self-addressed, stamped envelope for return shipping.
