The office is located at 600 W. Main St., Jefferson City, MO 65101 and processes apostille requests for all documents originating from Missouri, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, court orders, corporate filings, notarized documents, and academic credentials. The standard processing time for a Missouri apostille is 5–7 business days. Expedited processing is available and typically takes 2–3 business days for an additional fee. State filing fees and processing times vary — we provide a complete cost breakdown before processing your request. ### What Documents Can Be Apostilled in Missouri? The Missouri Secretary of State can apostille any document that bears an original signature from a Missouri-commissioned notary public, or any document issued by a Missouri government authority. This includes certified vital records (birth, marriage, death, divorce), court-issued documents (court orders, judgments, custody agreements), corporate filings (articles of incorporation, certificates of good standing, operating agreements), and notarized documents (affidavits, powers of attorney, declarations). ### Do I Need to Live in Missouri to Get a Missouri Apostille? No. The apostille is based on where the document was _issued_, not where you currently reside. If your birth certificate was issued in Missouri, it must be apostilled through the Missouri Secretary of State — even if you now live in another state. We handle Missouri apostille processing from anywhere in the United States, so you never need to visit Jefferson City in person. ### Federal vs. State Apostille: Which Do You Need? The Missouri Secretary of State only apostilles documents issued at the state level. Federal documents — such as FBI background checks, documents notarized by federal officials, or federal court records — must be apostilled through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. If you're unsure which authority handles your document, our free document review will determine the correct processing path. ### Hague vs. Non-Hague Countries An apostille from Missouri is accepted in over 120 Hague Convention member countries. If your destination country is _not_ a Hague member, a different process — called authentication and legalization — is required. This involves additional steps through the U.S. Department of State and the destination country's embassy or consulate. We handle both Hague apostille and non-Hague legalization for Missouri documents. ### Missouri-Specific Notes Residents and businesses across Missouri typically request apostilles for immigration, foreign study, and overseas property transactions. Once the Missouri Secretary of State releases your documents, we ship the same business day with tracking. Most Missouri return shipments arrive within 48 hours. **Filing tip:** Always confirm the destination country's specific requirements before filing — some embassies request additional translations or certified copies alongside the apostille. ## Why Choose 1Apostille for Missouri #### Nationwide Coverage We process Missouri apostilles remotely — no need to visit the Missouri Secretary of State yourself. #### Free Document Review We review every document before submission to prevent rejections and unnecessary delays. #### Transparent Timelines Real-time tracking and upfront processing estimates so you always know where your order stands. #### All Document Types Birth certificates, court orders, business filings, diplomas — we handle every document type. ## Missouri Apostille by Document Type Birth Certificate Apostille: https://1apostille.com/services/birth-certificate Marriage Certificate Apostille: https://1apostille.com/services/marriage-certificate FBI Background Check Apostille: https://1apostille.com/services/fbi-background-check Business Document Apostille: https://1apostille.com/services/business-documents Court Document Apostille: https://1apostille.com/services/court-documents Power of Attorney Apostille: https://1apostille.com/services/power-of-attorney Diploma & Transcript Apostille: https://1apostille.com/services/diploma-transcript Apostille for Immigration: https://1apostille.com/services/immigration Hague Apostille Convention: https://1apostille.com/services/hague-apostille ## Missouri County Apostille Guides Find county-specific apostille information including local issuing authorities, common documents, and processing details.
