Notary Town Hall: What Is An Apostille? Is A Maryland Notary Public Authorized to Perform Apostille?

Very informative. I did not know exactly what an apostille was.

Great overview of the Apostille process and what it is. We’re getting married abroad and this was very handy! Do it yourself and don’t pay $125 for a 3rd party to do this for you.

At the where the Apostille is conducted they have to have a notary do the paperwork first then take it in to the office. Trying to understand as I’m a notary for MD but haven’t done these services yet

Can a notary come in without an appointment or that goes for everyone?

Can Maryland Office of the Secretary of State provide apostille for my Social Security Benefit Verification Letter issued by the SSA office in Rockville, Maryland where I reside? Thanks for your response.

My ex-wife's death certificate is there now for apostille. It is required in the Philippines to adopt a child. Hopefully it will be returned soon.
