State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Ohio
The Ohio Secretary of State issues apostilles for Hague Convention countries and gold seal authentications for non-Hague countries.
The fee is 5 dollars for each apostille or authentication, among the lowest apostille fees in the country.
Mailed apostille requests are processed in 2 to 3 days.
The Secretary of State does not translate documents. If a document requires translation, the translation must be notarized before the office will issue the apostille.
Only documents issued by an Ohio official or notarized by an Ohio notary public can be apostilled by the Ohio Secretary of State.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from Ohio applicants. Federal rules ask for a certified translation, meaning the translator signs a statement of accuracy and competence. Eagle Translate includes this signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with every order.
For documents headed abroad, the Ohio Secretary of State states directly that a translation must be notarized before the office can issue an apostille, so plan a notarization step for translated documents entering the Ohio apostille chain.
Ohio authorized online notarization under the Ohio Notary Public Modernization Act, so a translator certification can be notarized remotely by an Ohio online notary.

German Village, just south of downtown Columbus, is a historic district settled by German immigrants in the 19th century and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a legacy that still drives demand for translation of German family records.

Questions
Questions about translations for the Columbus Field Office
- Will a translation from Eagle Translate be accepted here?
- Every certified translation we deliver carries the translator's signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate, which is the certification 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires for a foreign language document filed with USCIS. The officer reviewing your file decides on your evidence, and we do not speak for USCIS.
- Do I file the original document as well as the translation?
- Keep the original. A certified translation is filed alongside the foreign language document rather than in place of it, and it is common to be asked for both. The certificate names the source document it belongs to, so the two can be matched to each other.
- What happens to stamps, seals, and signatures?
- They are not dropped. Stamps, seals, signatures, and reference codes are described in bracketed form at the position they hold in the original, and the page structure is preserved, so a reviewer can set the translation beside the source document and follow it line by line.
- How is terminology from another country's legal system handled?
- A term with no exact United States equivalent is rendered to carry the meaning it has in the system that issued it, rather than swapped for an American term that would change what the document says. Where a term needs explaining, the explanation sits in brackets beside it instead of replacing it.
- A document has been asked for at short notice. How quickly can it be done?
- Certified delivery is 2 to 3 business days. Through 31 December 2026 the upgrade to Premium 1 to 2 business days delivery is applied automatically at the Certified price, so the faster option costs the same as the standard one.
- What does the certificate attest to?
- It attests to the accuracy of the translation. It states in those words that it does not attest to the authenticity of the source document or to the truth of its contents. That boundary is what makes it a certification a reviewer can rely on rather than a claim about your evidence.
