Two ways to process a Utah document

  • True Copy Processing: begins with an upload and authenticates the notary's certification. Its apostille state may differ from Utah.
  • Original Document Processing: use this when you want the original Utah document handled through the state-specific route.
  • One national service: this page is for Utah documents and does not represent a local office.
State Office

Who issues apostilles in Utah

Apostilles for public documents that originate in Utah are issued by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah in Salt Lake City. Original Document Processing sends your physical document through that office. True Copy Processing works from a scan and is apostilled by the state where our notary is commissioned, which may not be Utah, because the apostille certifies the notary's signature rather than the Utah issuing agency.

Issuing authority

Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah

Office location

Salt Lake City

Published mail-in processing time

3 to 5 business days, as published by the office, not counting transit in either direction

In-person service

The office also serves walk-in requests at its counter.

Processing estimates are published by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah and change without notice. They describe the state's own handling of a mailed request and are separate from our service tiers and from shipping. Apostilles.us is a private service, does not operate an office in Utah and is not affiliated with the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah.

Documents

Common Utah Document Types

Most requests for Utah documents fall into one of these groups. Government-issued certified copies are apostilled on the state's certification; privately signed documents are notarized first and apostilled on the notary's certification.

Utah birth certificate apostille

A certified copy issued by the Utah vital records office or the county registrar. A certified birth certificate is apostilled on the registrar's certification under Original Document Processing; a clear scan is enough to start True Copy Processing.

FAQ

Utah Apostille Questions

Need your apostille issued through Utah specifically?

True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the Utah-specific route.

Switch to Original Document Processing

An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah in Salt Lake City issues apostilles for public documents that originate in Utah, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings.

With True Copy Processing the apostille is issued by the state where our notary is commissioned instead, because it certifies the notary's signature rather than the Utah agency. Choose Original Document Processing when the receiving party needs the apostille from Utah itself.

The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah publishes a mail-in processing time of 3 to 5 business days. That figure is the state's own handling time, excludes transit to and from the office, and can change without notice.

Our Express (1 business day), Standard (2-3 business days) and Economy (4-6 business days) tiers describe our handling for True Copy Processing. Original Document Processing depends on the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah's schedule plus shipping. See processing details →

In most cases, no. Upload a clear color scan through our secure portal. Our licensed notary certifies the printed copy, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary's certification.

The state issuing a True Copy apostille may differ from Utah, because the apostille authenticates the notary rather than the source document.

Use our Original Document Apostille service when you need the physical document submitted through the Utah-specific route.

Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary who certifies that a printed copy made from your scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document.

A U.S. Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature.

Government-issued vital records typically do not require additional notarization before Original Document Processing. True Copy Processing includes the copy-certification step.

Private signed documents may require notarization. Our remote online notary service can be added to an order.

Economy orders take 4-6 business days, Standard takes 2-3 business days, and Express takes 1 business day. Shipping time is separate from processing time.

Not necessarily. With True Copy Processing, the apostille is issued by the state where the notary is commissioned. That may be a different state from Utah because the apostille authenticates the notary's certification.
