Where Can I Get an Apostille in Indianapolis?

Jun 27

If you’ve just been told you need an apostille, chances are you're already confused. You’re not alone — I get this question every single week:

> “What is an apostille and where can I even get one in Indianapolis?”

Let me break it all the way down for you — plain and simple — so you can stop Googling and start getting it done.

First things first: What is an apostille?

An apostille is a special certificate that proves a document is legal for use in another country.

Think of it like a stamp of international approval.

Let’s say you:

Got married in Indiana and need to register that marriage in Spain

Were born in Michigan but applying for citizenship in Italy

Earned a degree in the U.S. but now you're working in South Korea

Are adopting from Mexico, Brazil, or Nigeria

Each of those situations could require an apostille on your U.S. documents — to prove they're real and legally valid outside the United States.

So where do I get an apostille in Indianapolis?

Here’s where it gets tricky… and where I come in. 😉

You don’t get the apostille at a notary office, and you can’t just take it to your local courthouse.

Here’s how it actually works in Indiana:

If your document was issued in Indiana (like a birth certificate, POA, marriage license, notarized affidavit, etc.), it must go to the Indiana Secretary of State for apostille.

If it's a federal document (like an FBI background check or IRS form), it must go to the U.S. Department of State in D.C.

And guess what? That usually means:

❌ Mailing documents

❌ Hoping they don’t get lost

❌ Waiting 4–6+ weeks

❌ Wondering if you filled it out correctly
