State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Utah
Apostilles for Utah documents are issued by the Office of the Utah Lieutenant Governor (350 N State Street, Suite 220, Salt Lake City), which runs a dedicated authentications service at authentications.utah.gov.
Effective July 1, 2025, the fee is $19.00 per apostille or certificate of authentication with 3 to 5 business day processing. Next business day processing costs an additional $34.00 and same day processing an additional $74.00. Adoption documents with a sworn affidavit are $10.00.
As of July 8, 2026, Utah issues a single universal certificate format that replaced the previous separate apostille and certificate of authentication formats, and as of July 9, 2026 the office offers digital delivery of authentications, with online verification available at verifyapostille.utah.gov.
Original public documents certified by the legal custodian, such as vital records from the Office of Vital Records, do not need notarization before apostille. Private documents must be properly notarized by a Utah notary. The office cannot authenticate out-of-state documents, out-of-state notarizations, or documents notarized by a remote notary.
The Lieutenant Governor's office does not translate documents and does not require documents to be translated into English before it will process an authentication.
For immigration filings from Utah, USCIS requires a certified translation, not a notarized one. Federal rules ask for the translator's signed certification of accuracy and competence, so a Utah notary stamp is not needed for a USCIS submission handled through the Salt Lake City Field Office.
If a translation will be apostilled in Utah as a private document, the translator's signed statement must be notarized by a Utah-commissioned notary. Utah's authentications office rejects documents notarized by remote notaries and documents notarized outside Utah.
A notarized document submitted for a Utah apostille must be the original with original signatures and a complete, compliant notarial certificate. Utah has more than 20,000 commissioned notaries public, searchable through the state notary search.
Documents
What Utah customers translate most
Spanish is by far the most widely spoken language other than English in Utah, with large Spanish-speaking communities along the Wasatch Front in Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber counties.
Utah has an unusually high share of residents with second-language skills for a state of its size, in part because many residents learned Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, or Italian during missionary service abroad, and the state is home to a notable Brazilian Portuguese-speaking community concentrated in the Provo and Salt Lake City areas.

Applicants submit their foreign education records for review, and requirements vary by profession.

Questions
Utah questions
- Who issues apostilles in Utah?
- The Office of the Utah Lieutenant Governor in Salt Lake City issues apostilles for Utah documents. The fee is $19 per apostille with 3 to 5 business day processing, and expedited next day and same day options are available for an added fee. Since July 2026 Utah issues a single universal certificate format and offers digital delivery. Confirm current requirements at authentications.utah.gov before submitting.
- Which USCIS office serves Utah?
- The USCIS Salt Lake City Field Office at 660 South 200 East in Salt Lake City serves the entire state. Visits are by appointment only. Any foreign language document you file with USCIS must include a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy.
- Does Utah have an immigration court?
- Yes. The Salt Lake City Immigration Court is the EOIR immigration court located in Utah. Foreign language documents filed in immigration court proceedings must be submitted with certified English translations. Check your hearing notice for the exact filing location.
- Do certified translations for USCIS in Utah need to be notarized?
- No. USCIS requires a certified translation, meaning the translator signs a statement certifying the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate. Notarization is not a USCIS requirement. Some other Utah receiving offices may ask for notarization, so confirm with the office that will receive your document.
- Can I get a Utah apostille on a translated document?
- Utah's authentications office does not require documents to be in English, so you can often apostille the original document as issued. If the translation itself needs an apostille, the translator's certification generally must be notarized by a Utah-commissioned notary first, and Utah will not authenticate documents notarized remotely or outside Utah. Confirm the destination country's requirements before ordering.
- Do Utah universities require translated transcripts from international students?
- Major Utah institutions such as the University of Utah, Brigham Young University, and Utah State University generally require academic records that are not in English to be accompanied by English translations. Each school sets its own rules on who may translate, so confirm with the admissions office before submitting.
