State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Kentucky
The Kentucky Secretary of State issues apostilles and authentications, and the fee is $5 per document.
For paper documents, the principal signature must be notarized by a Kentucky notary public and the notary's signature must then be certified by the county clerk of the county where the notary is registered before the apostille can be issued.
Documents notarized electronically by an authorized Kentucky online notary public, submitted as PDFs, do not need the county clerk certification step.
Requests can be made by mail, by walk-in service in Frankfort completed while you wait, or electronically for e-notarized PDFs.
USCIS itself does not require notarized translations for Kentucky filings. The federal standard is a certified translation with the translator's signed statement of competence and accuracy, which is what Eagle Translate provides.
Kentucky's distinctive step is at the apostille stage. A paper document notarized by a Kentucky notary also needs the county clerk's certification of that notary's signature before the Secretary of State will apostille it, while Kentucky online notarizations skip the clerk step.
Documents
Documents commonly translated for the Louisville Field Office
Spanish is the most common non-English language spoken at home in Kentucky, with communities concentrated in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and Shelbyville.
Louisville has one of the fastest-growing Cuban communities in the United States, adding steady demand for Spanish-language civil documents.
Louisville's Germantown neighborhood and Northern Kentucky river cities such as Covington reflect deep 19th century German immigration, a common source of German-language family records.
Kentucky has resettled significant numbers of people from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where French is the official language, so civil documents issued in French are common in Louisville and Bowling Green.

Questions
Questions about translations for the Louisville 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.
