Apostille in Nevada, handled end to end.
An apostille authenticates the seal and signature on a Nevada document so it's accepted abroad under the Hague Apostille Convention. In Nevada, apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State, with offices in Carson City and Las Vegas.
Nevada's standard mail queue can run about a month, though same-day expedite options exist. The rule that trips people up is where the certified copy comes from: birth and death certificates come from the state, but a marriage certificate has to come from the county clerk that issued the license.
We prepare, submit, and track your Nevada apostille from start to finish — routing each document to the correct certifying office and the fastest service tier — in person at our two San Diego offices or by secure, tracked mail from anywhere in Nevada.
One partner for every Nevada 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.
Nevada requirements
What Nevada documents need first.
Every document type has its own rule in Nevada. Getting it right the first time is what avoids a rejection and a second wait.
Birth/death from the state, marriage from the county
In Nevada, a birth or death certificate for an apostille must be a certified copy from the state Office of Vital Records, while a marriage certificate must come from the County Clerk that issued the marriage license — not the state. Getting the certified copy from the wrong office is a common rejection, and a photocopy is never accepted. We obtain the correct copy for you.
Notarized documents go straight to the state
A power of attorney or affidavit notarized by a Nevada notary goes directly to the Secretary of State — there's no county-clerk step, since only the Secretary of State can authenticate a Nevada notary's signature. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Corporate records — Certificate of Good Standing
Nevada's Certificate of Good Standing is issued by the Secretary of State's Commercial Recordings division, then apostilled by the same office. We obtain the certificate and apostille it together, in one order.

Nevada apostille questions, answered.
How much does an apostille cost in Nevada?+
It depends on the document, the issuing authority, and how fast you need it — Nevada offers standard and several expedite tiers. You get a flat, all-in quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
Where do Nevada certified copies come from?+
It depends on the record: a birth or death certificate for an apostille must be a certified copy from the state Office of Vital Records, while a marriage certificate must come from the County Clerk that issued the license. Getting it from the wrong office is a common rejection. We obtain the correct copy for you.
How long does a Nevada apostille take?+
Standard mail processing runs about four weeks, but Nevada offers same-day and other expedite options for time-sensitive documents. We confirm the current turnaround and route your document the fastest way for your deadline.
Does a Nevada notarized document need a county step?+
No. A document notarized by a Nevada notary goes directly to the Secretary of State — only the Secretary of State can authenticate a Nevada notary's signature. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Is my FBI background check apostilled in Nevada?+
No. FBI background checks are federal, so they're apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC — not by Nevada — even if you live in Nevada. We handle that federal route in the same order.
Can I get a Nevada apostille from San Diego?+
Yes. We serve all of Nevada — Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, Carson City, and beyond — by secure, tracked mail, and you're welcome at either of our two San Diego walk-in offices.
