Apostille Request Instructions

Until further notice, the Archives is unable to process Apostille requests. The Archives will fill your order for a record and mailed the record to you via USPS. You must then mail the record and the certification letter sent with it to the Maryland Secretary of State’s office using the form found at https://sos.maryland.gov/Documents/CertCheckList.pdf. Please follow the directions on the form to ensure your request can be fulfilled.

Please note that the Secretary of State’s office cannot accommodate walk-in services due to construction disruptions.
