From Virginia Beach to a Virginia apostille

Virginia apostilles are issued only in Richmond, by the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Authentication Division. From Virginia Beach the usual choices are mail or the drop box; in-person visits need an appointment booked online.

Prepare the document. A vital record must be a Virginia Department of Health certificate issued within the past 12 months, not notarized. A circuit court record, including a marriage certificate from the clerk, needs the two-page Certification of Official Record, or Triple Seal, dated within the past 12 months. Other documents need a Virginia notarization that is complete, in English and less than 12 months old.
Create the cover letter. Use the Secretary’s online authentication system and print the letter.
Pay. $10.00 per document by check or money order payable to the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Send. USPS: Authentication Division, 1111 East Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23219. FedEx, UPS or DHL: 400 East Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23219. Enclose a pre-paid, self-addressed return mailer. Mail processing is 7 to 10 business days.
