State rules
Apostilles and notarization in West Virginia
Apostilles in West Virginia are issued by the West Virginia Secretary of State at the State Capitol Building in Charleston, for documents going to countries in the Hague Apostille Convention.
The fee is 10 dollars for the first document certified by one official and 5 dollars for each additional document by the same official, submitted with the Apostille and Certification Request Form AC-1 and the name of the destination country.
Mail orders are generally processed within 48 business hours, and walk-in customers in Charleston are typically served within minutes, which makes West Virginia one of the faster state apostille operations.
West Virginia issues apostilles for Hague Convention countries and separate authentication certificates for countries outside the convention, so the destination country determines which certificate you receive.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from West Virginia applicants. USCIS requires a certified translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from the translator, so a notary stamp is not needed for USCIS filings.
For a notarized document to receive a West Virginia apostille, the notary must include the full acknowledgment statement, the notary's original signature, and the notary's rubber stamp seal. A document carrying only a signature and seal without the acknowledgment statement cannot be certified.

Questions
West Virginia questions
- Which USCIS office serves West Virginia?
- West Virginia has no USCIS field office inside the state. USCIS's own locator assigns West Virginia ZIP codes to the Pittsburgh Field Office in Pennsylvania, so most in-person interviews and naturalization ceremonies for West Virginia residents happen there. Your appointment notice will confirm the exact location, and certified English translations of foreign-language documents are required either way.
- Does USCIS require notarized translations in West Virginia?
- No. USCIS requires certified translations, meaning a full English translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from the translator. Notarization is not part of the USCIS requirement. Eagle Translate includes the signed certificate with every certified translation.
- Who issues apostilles in West Virginia?
- The West Virginia Secretary of State issues apostilles from the State Capitol Building in Charleston. The fee is 10 dollars for the first document certified by one official and 5 dollars for each additional document by the same official, submitted with Form AC-1. Mail orders are generally processed within 48 business hours, and walk-ins are often served within minutes.
- Is there an immigration court in West Virginia?
- No. EOIR does not operate an immigration court in West Virginia, so hearings for West Virginia residents are scheduled at courts in neighboring states depending on how the case is docketed. Your hearing notice states the exact court, and any foreign-language evidence must be filed with a certified English translation.
- My document needs an apostille and a translation. Which comes first in West Virginia?
- It depends on the receiving country. The apostille certifies the West Virginia official or notary who signed the underlying document, and the notarization must carry the full acknowledgment statement, original signature, and stamp seal to qualify. Many countries want the apostille on the original document with a certified translation of everything. Always confirm the required order with the receiving authority before ordering.
- What do WVU and Marshall require for international transcripts?
- West Virginia University and Marshall University generally require official transcripts, and documents not issued in English need an English translation, with credential evaluations required for some programs. Requirements vary by program, so confirm with the admissions office that will receive your documents.
