Three Rules That Prevent Rejection
A birth certificate Apostille gets rejected for the same three reasons almost every time. Get these right and the process is smooth.
Never Let a Notary Touch It
A notary seal on a Texas vital record invalidates it permanently. Your birth certificate must go to the State exactly as it was issued. This is the single most common mistake, and it cannot be undone.
A Copy Is Not a Certificate
Only a certified birth certificate issued by Texas vital records, with a seal and a hand signature, can be Apostilled. A photocopy, a scan, or the keepsake certificate from the hospital will be rejected.
Read the Issue Date
We Apostille certificates issued within the last 20 years. The issue date printed on the certificate is what counts, not your date of birth. Older certificates risk rejection because the signing official may no longer be verifiable.

Does the birth certificate need to be notarized before the Apostille?
No, and it must not be. A notary seal on a Texas vital record invalidates it permanently. Bring or send the certified certificate exactly as the State issued it.
Can I use a photocopy of my birth certificate?
No. Only a certified birth certificate issued by Texas vital records, with a raised or printed seal and a hand signature, can be Apostilled. A photocopy or a hospital souvenir certificate cannot.
How old can the birth certificate be?
We Apostille certificates issued within the last 20 years. The issue date printed on the certificate is what counts. Older certificates risk rejection because the signing official may no longer be verifiable in the state records.
