State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Alaska
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Juneau is the sole provider of apostilles and authentications in Alaska.
Authentications cost 5 dollars per certificate, and multiple notarizations by the same notary on one document require only one certificate.
The Lieutenant Governor will only authenticate wet original signatures. Photocopies are not acceptable, and photocopies of vital records cannot be authenticated under state law, so certified copies are required.
Qualifying documents are either notarized documents executed before a commissioned Alaska notary with all statutory notarization elements, or official certified copies such as vital records and court documents whose signatures are already on file.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from Alaska applicants. The federal requirement is a certified translation, meaning a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy.
Alaska keeps its authentication chain in one office. Notaries public are administered through the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, the same office that issues apostilles, so a notarized document moves through a single state authority on its way to foreign use.
For an Alaska apostille, a private document must first be properly notarized by a commissioned Alaska notary with an original signature, a notarial certificate, the notary's signature, the commission expiration date, and a reproducible seal imprint.
