Federal vs. State: Idaho Specifics
The Idaho Secretary of State in Boise handles all apostille requests for documents originating in the Gem State. Idaho requires documents to be either certified copies from a state or county agency, or notarized by an Idaho Notary Public. Idaho does not require county clerk pre-authentication for notarized documents. Vital records must be obtained from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics. Court documents require certification from the County Clerk of the issuing court. Idaho's process is straightforward with both walk-in and mail-in options available at the Secretary of State's office in Boise.
