State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Vermont
On behalf of the Vermont Secretary of State, the Vermont State Archives and Records Administration (VSARA) issues apostille and authentication certificates for Vermont notarized documents and Vermont certified public records for use abroad.
The fee is $10 per apostille or authentication, paid by check or money order payable to the VT Secretary of State in US dollars. Credit and debit cards are not accepted. Requests use the Apostille/Authentication Request Form (VSARA-35) and are delivered to VSARA at 1078 U.S. Route 2, Middlesex, where a drop box is available.
VSARA apostilles official copies of Vermont government records only when certified by the legal record custodian, and original certifications are required. Notary-certified copies of Vermont public records are rejected. Academic documents must include a Vermont notarized attestation by the school registrar regarding the document's authenticity.
VSARA will not apostille federal documents, which go to the US Department of State Authentications Office, or documents issued by other states, which must be authenticated in the issuing state. It also does not issue apostilles for documents used within the United States or its territories.
For immigration filings from Vermont, USCIS requires a certified translation, not a notarized one. The translator signs a certification of accuracy and competence, and no Vermont notary is involved unless a different receiving office specifically asks for notarization.
For a Vermont apostille on a notarized document, the notarial act must be performed by a Vermont-commissioned notary public and meet Vermont's statutory requirements in 26 V.S.A. Chapter 103, with original signatures. Improperly notarized documents are rejected, and VSARA encourages a preliminary review before submitting.
Diplomas and transcripts headed abroad from Vermont schools need a notarized attestation signed by the school registrar before VSARA will apostille them, which is a distinctive step in Vermont's chain.
Documents
What Vermont customers translate most
Vermont borders Quebec and has deep Franco-American roots. A substantial share of Vermonters report French or French Canadian ancestry, and French is among the most commonly spoken languages other than English in the state.
Spanish and French are consistently among the leading non-English languages spoken at home in Vermont, and the Burlington area sees steady personal and business ties with Montreal and the rest of francophone Canada.

Questions
Vermont questions
- Who issues apostilles in Vermont?
- The Vermont State Archives and Records Administration (VSARA) issues apostilles on behalf of the Vermont Secretary of State. The fee is $10 per apostille, paid by check or money order, and documents are submitted with the VSARA-35 request form to 1078 U.S. Route 2 in Middlesex, where a drop box is available. Cards are not accepted.
- Which USCIS office serves Vermont?
- The USCIS Burlington Field Office serves all of Vermont. Despite the name, it is located at 463 Mountain View Drive in Colchester. Visits are by appointment only, and any foreign language document filed with USCIS needs a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy.
- Does Vermont have an immigration court?
- No. EOIR's court list includes no Vermont location. Cases for Vermont residents are generally heard at the Boston Immigration Court in Massachusetts, and your hearing notice states the exact court assigned to your case, so always follow the notice.
- Do certified translations for USCIS in Vermont need to be notarized?
- No. USCIS requires certification, not notarization. The translator signs a statement certifying the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate. Some non-USCIS offices in Vermont may separately request notarization, so confirm with the receiving office.
- How do I apostille a Vermont diploma or transcript?
- Vermont requires an extra step for academic documents. The school registrar must sign an attestation about the document's authenticity, that attestation must be notarized by a Vermont notary, and then VSARA can issue the apostille. Notary-certified copies of public records without custodian certification are rejected.
- Can Vermont apostille my Canadian or out-of-state documents?
- No. VSARA only handles Vermont notarized documents and Vermont certified public records. Documents issued by other states must be authenticated in the issuing state, federal documents go to the US Department of State, and Canadian documents follow Canada's own authentication process.
- Is the Vermont Service Center the same as the Vermont USCIS field office?
- No. The Vermont Service Center is a USCIS processing center that handles certain applications by mail from across the country and does not serve walk-in customers. In-person services for Vermont residents happen at the Burlington Field Office in Colchester, by appointment.
