State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Colorado
The Colorado Secretary of State issues apostilles and authentications from its Denver office at 1700 Broadway, Suite 550.
The fee is $5 per document for paper submissions, one of the lowest apostille fees in the country.
A private document must be notarized by a Colorado notary, or be an original certified copy from an eligible Colorado public office such as vital records, a county clerk, or a court clerk, before the Secretary of State can authenticate it.
Colorado issues a single combined certificate of authentication that functions as an apostille in Hague Apostille Convention countries and as an authentication elsewhere.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from Colorado applicants. The requirement is a certified translation, meaning a full English translation with the translator's signed statement of accuracy and competence.
Colorado authorized remote online notarization effective December 31, 2020 under Senate Bill 20-096. Remote notarizations must use a provider approved by the Secretary of State, and the notary must keep an audio-video recording of the session for at least ten years.
If a Colorado receiving office requests a notarized translation, the notary notarizes the translator's signature on the certification statement, not the translation itself.

Professional licensing

For certified nurse aide applicants trained as nurses abroad, the Colorado Board of Nursing evaluates whether five semester hours of fundamentals of nursing or its equivalent appears on the applicant's English-translated transcript.

Questions
Colorado questions
- Does USCIS in Colorado require notarized translations?

- Which USCIS office serves Colorado?
- The Denver Field Office serves the entire state. Despite the name, it is physically located at 12484 East Weaver Place in Centennial, southeast of Denver. Your appointment notice will confirm the address for your visit.
- Where are Colorado's immigration courts?
- Colorado has two immigration courts: the Denver Immigration Court at 1961 Stout Street in Denver and the Aurora Immigration Court at 3130 N. Oakland Street in Aurora. Your hearing notice lists your assigned court and courtroom.
- Who issues apostilles in Colorado and what does it cost?
- The Colorado Secretary of State issues apostilles from its Denver office at 1700 Broadway, Suite 550. The fee is $5 per document for paper submissions, among the lowest in the country. The document must be notarized by a Colorado notary or be a certified copy from an eligible Colorado public office.
- Can I use a remotely notarized document in Colorado?
- Yes. Colorado has authorized remote online notarization since December 31, 2020. If a receiving office asks for a notarized translator statement, a Colorado notary can notarize it remotely through a state-approved provider. Confirm that the receiving office accepts remote notarization before proceeding.
- I am an internationally educated nurse applying in Colorado. What translation rules apply?
- The Colorado Board of Nursing requires an equivalency evaluation of your degree through a credentialing service such as CGFNS, and those services require English translations of documents issued in other languages. The board's nurse aide guidance also refers specifically to your English-translated transcript. Check the board's current instructions before submitting.
