Federal vs. State: Nevada Specifics
The Nevada Secretary of State in Carson City processes all apostille requests for documents originating in the Silver State. Nevada requires documents to be either certified copies from a state or county agency, or notarized by a Nevada Notary Public. Nevada does not require county clerk pre-authentication for notarized documents. Vital records must be obtained from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Vital Records. Court documents require certification from the County Clerk of the issuing court. Nevada's business-friendly incorporation laws mean the state handles a high volume of corporate document apostilles for international business use.
