State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Alabama
Apostilles for Alabama documents are issued by the Authentication Division of the Alabama Office of the Secretary of State in Montgomery.
The authentication fee is 5 dollars per document.
An apostille may be affixed only to documents bearing the original signature and seal of a currently commissioned Alabama notary public, an Alabama probate judge, or the current Alabama State Registrar. All birth and death certificates requiring an apostille must bear the signature of the current State Registrar.
For countries not party to the Hague Convention, Alabama affixes a Certification instead of an apostille, and each notarized document requiring a Certification must first receive a county authentication of the notary's commission from the probate judge in the county where the notary is commissioned.
The Alabama Secretary of State requires all documents in a foreign language to be accompanied by a notarized English translation before authentication.
School documents must be notarized by an Alabama notary public before an apostille can be affixed. A registrar's signature and school seal alone are not acceptable.
USCIS itself does not require notarized translations from Alabama applicants. Federal rules require a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy and competence, so a certified translation is what USCIS filings need.
Alabama state authentication practice is stricter than the federal standard. When a foreign-language document goes to the Secretary of State for an apostille or certification, the accompanying English translation must be notarized.
County authentications of a Alabama notary's commission are issued by the office of the probate judge in the county of the notary's commission, a step required before non-Hague Certifications.

Questions
Questions about translations for the Montgomery 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.
