Nevada Secretary of State apostille

Nevada apostille, filed in Las Vegas by our partner office

A Nevada document can only be apostilled by the Nevada Secretary of State — California cannot do it, and neither can any other state. We work with our Las Vegas partner office, Fingerscan Digital Las Vegas, which files directly with the Nevada Secretary of State. You order through us, they file in Nevada, and the apostilled document comes back to you.

Nevada documents we apostille

If it was issued or notarized in Nevada, it goes to Carson City

Every state authenticates only its own records, so a Nevada birth certificate or a document signed before a Nevada notary has to be apostilled by the Nevada Secretary of State. Tell us what you have and where it is going, and we confirm what qualifies before anything is filed.

Nevada vital records

Certified birth, marriage and death certificates from the Nevada county recorder or state vital records office — not photocopies or hospital keepsakes.

Nevada notarized documents

Powers of attorney, affidavits and consents signed before a Nevada notary, with a complete notarial certificate, seal and commission details.

Nevada business records

Articles, certificates of good standing and resolutions filed with or certified by the Nevada Secretary of State’s business division.

Nevada court records

Divorce decrees and other records certified by the Nevada court that holds them.

Nevada education records

Diplomas and transcripts from Nevada schools, certified by the school and notarized before filing.

California or federal instead?

California records go to Sacramento — see California apostille. FBI reports and other federal documents go to Washington, DC — see federal apostille.

How the Nevada route works

One order, filed by our Las Vegas partner

Start the order

Tell us the document, the destination country and your deadline. We check it qualifies before anything is filed. $325 flat per document, plus return shipping.

Notarize if needed

Private documents must carry a complete Nevada notarial certificate first. Certified vital and court records skip this step.

Filed in Nevada

Our Las Vegas partner office submits to the Nevada Secretary of State on the 3-business-day expedited tier, not the routine queue.

Returned to you

The apostilled document ships to your address, a consulate or an overseas recipient, with tracking.

Price and timing, in plain numbers. A Nevada apostille is $325 flat per document. That covers the Nevada Secretary of State’s $75 three-business-day expedited fee, our Las Vegas partner’s filing, and our handling — there is no separate state fee to pay later. Expect about 9 business days from the day your document reaches us: roughly 6 business days of mail between our office, Las Vegas and back, plus the 3 business days the state takes. Return shipping to you is added at cost, and dropping your document at our San Jose office instead of posting it removes several of those mail days.
Nevada apostille questions

Nevada apostille, answered

Can California apostille my Nevada document?
No. The California Secretary of State authenticates only California records. A Nevada document must be apostilled by the Nevada Secretary of State, which is why we route it through our Las Vegas partner office rather than turning the work away.
What does a Nevada apostille cost?
$325 flat per document. That includes the Nevada Secretary of State’s $75 three-business-day expedited fee and our Las Vegas partner’s filing, so nothing further is owed to the state. Return shipping is added at cost and quoted with your order.
How long does a Nevada apostille take?
About 9 business days from the day your document reaches us. The Nevada Secretary of State takes 3 business days on the expedited tier we use, and roughly 6 business days go on mail between our San Jose office, Las Vegas and back. Bringing the document to our office instead of posting it cuts out several of those days.
Does my document need to be notarized first?
Private documents — powers of attorney, affidavits, diplomas — need a complete Nevada notarial certificate with signature, seal, commission number and expiry before the state will act. Certified vital records and court records are already certified by the issuing office and go straight to filing.
Can you handle California, Nevada and federal documents in one job?
Yes, and it is common for one family or company to need all three. We file the California documents in Sacramento, route the Nevada ones through Las Vegas, and send federal documents such as FBI reports to the U.S. Department of State, then return everything together.
Do you need the original document?
Nevada accepts originals or certified copies from the issuing agency. Standard photocopies are refused, which is the most common reason an apostille is rejected, so we check your copy before it is sent.
