Yes. Documents MUST be notarized BEFORE submitting the Nevada Apostille/Certification Order Form to Secretary of State. An apostille is international authentication of notarized documents required under the Hague Convention for use in foreign countries. The notarization happens first—then Nevada SOS issues apostille certificate.
Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides complete apostille service throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and greater Clark County. Starting at $99.
We notarize your document, complete the order form, and submit to Nevada SOS. Rush processing available. Full-service for international document authentication.

The Nevada Apostille/Certification Order Form is the required submission form for requesting document authentication from Nevada Secretary of State's Commercial Recordings Division. An apostille is an international certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates notarized documents for use in foreign countries. The form accompanies your notarized document when submitted to Nevada SOS for apostille processing.
Under the Hague Convention, member countries accept apostilles instead of lengthy embassy legalization chains. Nevada SOS authenticates the notary public's signature, seal, and commission—verifying the notarization is legitimate. Foreign governments then accept the apostilled document as authentic without further authentication. This is essential for birth certificates, marriage certificates, powers of attorney, diplomas, corporate documents, and legal paperwork needed abroad.
Document must be properly notarized BEFORE apostille submission. The apostille authenticates the notarization—not the underlying document. Nevada SOS requires complete order form with payment, original notarized document, and return shipping information (if mailing).
