Apostille in Indiana, handled end to end.
An apostille authenticates the seal and signature on an Indiana document so it's accepted abroad under the Hague Apostille Convention. In Indiana, apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State's Business Services Division in Indianapolis.
Indiana is one of the quickest states — mail is usually turned around in a day or two, and in-person requests are same-day. The main rule: never notarize a vital record, and never send a photocopy.
We prepare, submit, and track your Indiana apostille from start to finish — routing it the fastest way for your deadline — in person at our two San Diego offices or by secure, tracked mail from anywhere in Indiana.
One partner for every Indiana document
State or federal, we route each document to the right authority the first time — and handle the county certification, notarization, or translation it needs along the way.
Indiana requirements
What Indiana documents need first.
Every document type has its own rule in Indiana. Getting it right the first time is what avoids a rejection and a second wait.
Corporate records — the Certificate of Existence
Indiana's proof of good standing is the Certificate of Existence, ordered from the Secretary of State through the INBiz portal. Because it's a state-issued document, it goes straight to apostille. We obtain the certificate and apostille it together.
Never notarize a vital record
An Indiana birth or death certificate must be a certified copy from the Indiana Department of Health or the county health department where the event occurred — both are accepted — with the official seal and signature. Do not notarize it, and don't send a photocopy or scan; those are rejected. We obtain the correct certified copy for you.
Notarized documents go straight to the state
A power of attorney or affidavit notarized by an Indiana notary goes directly to the Secretary of State — there's no county-clerk step. The office verifies the notary's signature and active status before issuing the apostille. We notarize your document correctly for you.

Indiana apostille questions, answered.
How much does an apostille cost in Indiana?+
It depends on the document and how fast you need it — Indiana is quick, usually a day or two by mail. Whether we obtain the certified record or notarization for you is the main variable. You get a flat, all-in quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
How long does an Indiana apostille take?+
Indiana is fast: mailed requests are typically processed within one to two business days of receipt, and in person in Indianapolis it's usually same-day (up to five documents while you wait, or ten with an appointment). We route your document the fastest way for your deadline.
Do Indiana birth certificates need anything special?+
Yes — and the key rule is: don't notarize it. An Indiana birth or death certificate must be a certified copy from the Indiana Department of Health or the county health department where the event occurred, with the official seal and signature; a notarized copy, photocopy, or scan is rejected. We obtain the correct certified copy for you.
Does an Indiana notarized document need a county step?+
No. A power of attorney or affidavit notarized by an Indiana notary goes straight to the Secretary of State — there's no county-clerk step. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Is my FBI background check apostilled in Indiana?+
No. FBI background checks are federal, so they're apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC — not by Indiana — even if you live in Indiana. We handle that federal route in the same order.
Can I get an Indiana apostille from San Diego?+
Yes. We serve all of Indiana — Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, Carmel, and beyond — by secure, tracked mail, and you're welcome at either of our two San Diego walk-in offices.
