Federal vs. State: Wyoming Specifics
The Wyoming Secretary of State in Cheyenne handles all apostille requests for documents originating in the Cowboy State. Wyoming requires documents to be either certified copies from a state or county agency, or notarized by a Wyoming Notary Public. Wyoming does not require county clerk pre-authentication for notarized documents. Vital records must be obtained from the Wyoming Department of Health, Vital Statistics Services. Court documents require certification from the Clerk of the District Court in the issuing county. Wyoming's business-friendly incorporation laws and absence of state income tax make it a popular state for business formation, driving demand for corporate document apostilles.
