Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Oklahoma Death Certificate Apostille Process

Rules for Death Certificate

  • Must Be a Certified Copy

    You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Vital Records Service. It must have the official seal and the signature of the State Registrar.

  • Certificate Must Be Recent

    Oklahoma enforces a strict recency requirement. The certification date on the vital record must be within one year of the date it is submitted to the Oklahoma 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 State Registrar. Notarizing it is an incorrect step that will cause rejection.

  • Complete the Request Package

    Ensure your submission includes all required elements: The original, recent, certified death certificate. The correct fee (check the OK 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.
