State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Maryland
Apostilles for Maryland documents are issued by the Office of the Secretary of State in Annapolis.
The fee is 5 dollars per document. Walk-in service runs 9 am to 1 pm Monday through Friday with a limit of 15 documents per day, and mail requests need a stamped self-addressed envelope or prepaid express label.
Maryland has a distinctive extra step. A notarized document must first be certified by the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the notary was commissioned before the Secretary of State will issue the apostille.
Vital records such as birth, death, marriage, and divorce documents can be certified when they bear the seal and authorized signature of the issuing department.
USCIS filings from Maryland need certified translations, not notarized ones. The requirement is a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy and competence, with no notary involved.
A notarized translator statement bound for an apostille faces Maryland's two-stop chain. It must first be certified by the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the notary is commissioned, and only then will the Secretary of State authenticate it.

Questions
Baltimore questions
- Which USCIS office handles Baltimore filings?
- Baltimore is served by the USCIS Baltimore Field Office at 3701 Koppers Street in Halethorpe, just southwest of the city. Most applications are filed online or mailed to a USCIS lockbox first, and the field office handles interviews, naturalization ceremonies, and scheduled appointments. Always follow the address on your USCIS notice.
- Does USCIS require certified translations for documents filed from Baltimore?
- Yes. USCIS requires a full English translation of any foreign language document plus a signed certification from the translator stating the translation is accurate and the translator is competent. Eagle Translate provides a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from a qualified professional translator with every order. Notarization is not required by USCIS.
- Where are immigration court hearings held in Baltimore?
- The Baltimore Immigration Court hears cases for the Baltimore area. Maryland also has an immigration court in Hyattsville, so check your hearing notice for your assigned court. Foreign language evidence needs an English translation with a signed certification, and you should confirm filing rules with the court or your attorney.
- Is there a consulate in Baltimore that can issue my foreign documents?
- Baltimore has no career consulates for the countries whose languages Eagle Translate covers. Most embassies and consular sections sit about 40 miles away in Washington, DC. Whatever office issues your document, if it is not in English it will need a certified English translation before it goes to USCIS, a court, or another US agency.
- Do Baltimore universities like Johns Hopkins accept certified translations of foreign records?
- Baltimore area universities generally require academic records in English, so transcripts and diplomas in another language need an English translation, and some programs also request a credential evaluation. Requirements differ by school and program, so confirm the format with the admissions office receiving your documents.
- How much does a certified translation cost in Baltimore?
- Eagle Translate charges 24.95 dollars per page of 250 words, delivered in 2 to 3 business days with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. The service is 100 percent online, so there is no office to visit and you can order from anywhere in Baltimore.
