Apostille in Utah, handled end to end.
An apostille authenticates the seal and signature on a Utah document so it's accepted abroad under the Hague Apostille Convention. Utah is unusual: it has no Secretary of State, so apostilles are issued exclusively by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Salt Lake City.
Utah is quick — mail is processed in one to three business days and in-person appointments are same-day. Vital records are the exception that trips people up: they can only be issued on paper, never digitally.
We prepare, submit, and track your Utah 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 Utah.
One partner for every Utah 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.
Utah requirements
What Utah documents need first.
Every document type has its own rule in Utah. Getting it right the first time is what avoids a rejection and a second wait.
The Lieutenant Governor issues Utah apostilles — not a Secretary of State
Utah has no Secretary of State; the Office of the Lieutenant Governor is the state's competent authority and issues every Utah apostille and authentication. We send your document to the correct office the first time.
Vital records come from state Vital Records — paper only
A Utah birth or death certificate must be a certified copy from the Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics, with an original signature — not a photocopy. Vital records can only receive a paper apostille, never the digital version. Marriage records can come from Vital Records or the county clerk, and divorce decrees from the district court. We obtain the correct copy for you.
Notarized documents go straight to the state
A document notarized by a Utah notary goes directly to the Lieutenant Governor's Office — there's no county-clerk step — but it must be the original with a complete notarial certificate. Remote-notarized documents are not accepted. We notarize your document correctly for you.

Utah apostille questions, answered.
Who issues apostilles in Utah?+
Utah has no Secretary of State — the Office of the Lieutenant Governor is the state's competent authority and issues every Utah apostille and authentication, from its office in Salt Lake City. We send your document to the correct office the first time.
How much does an apostille cost in Utah?+
It depends on the document and how fast you need it. In Utah, apostilles are issued by the Lieutenant Governor's Office — the state has no Secretary of State — and the certified copy or notarization is a separate input. You get a flat, all-in quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
Do Utah birth certificates need anything special?+
A Utah birth or death certificate must be a certified copy from the Utah Office of Vital Records and Statistics, with an original signature — not a photocopy. Vital records can only receive a paper apostille, never the digital version. We obtain the correct copy for you.
Does a Utah notarized document need a county step?+
No. A document notarized by a Utah notary goes directly to the Lieutenant Governor's Office — there's no county-clerk step — but it must be the original with a complete notarial certificate, and remote-notarized documents aren't accepted. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Is my FBI background check apostilled in Utah?+
No. FBI background checks are federal, so they're apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC — not by Utah — even if you live in Utah. We handle that federal route in the same order.
Can I get a Utah apostille from San Diego?+
Yes. We serve all of Utah — Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo, Ogden, and beyond — by secure, tracked mail, and you're welcome at either of our two San Diego walk-in offices.
