You don’t have to pay for an urgent service to get your apostille, you can do it yourself.

The State of Ohio processes all documents on a first-come, first-served basis.

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

Apostille Ohio service is placed on original documents issued in the state of Ohio that bear the official signature and seal of a valid mandatory notary, a current Ohio state registrar, a probate judge, or a document issued by one of the state departments that was issued in Ohio. Below is a list of the various departments in the state of Ohio.
