How to obtain an apostille for a birth certificate?

  1. 1. A birth certificate that has been signed by the state registrar is sufficient to obtain an apostille.

  2. 2. If the birth certificate has only the signature of the county registrar, you will need to obtain a new certificate from the state registrar’s office or your local health department.

Always be sure that the certificate has the state registrar’s signature. A former state registrar’s signature will also qualify.
