You don’t have to pay for an urgent service to get your apostille, you can do it yourself. The State of Iowa processes all documents on a first-come, first-served basis.

Apostille Iowa services may only be issued in the state of Iowa by the Iowa Secretary of State’s office. We recommend that you call the Apostille Office and describe your document to ensure that you are ready for the apostille.

An apostille may be placed on original documents issued in the state of Iowa that bear the official signature and seal of a valid mandatory notary, current Iowa State Registrar, Probate Judge, or a document issued by one of Iowa’s state departments. Below is a list of the various departments in the state of Iowa.
