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.
