Short Answer
In Colorado, apostilles are issued by the Colorado Secretary of State.
The Colorado Secretary of State
The Colorado Secretary of State is the only authority in Colorado that can issue apostilles. Their office processes apostille requests for documents that will be used in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Submission Options
You can submit documents for apostille in several ways: in person at the Secretary of State's office in Denver, by mail with appropriate fees and return postage, or through a courier service that can hand-deliver your documents and pick them up once processed.
Document Preparation
Before submitting documents for apostille, ensure they are properly prepared. Vital records (birth, marriage, death certificates) typically need to be certified copies from the issuing agency. Other documents may need to be notarized first. The Secretary of State's website provides guidance on requirements.
