What happens if the Nevada Secretary of State rejects my apostille request?

What happens if the Nevada Secretary of State rejects my apostille request?

A rejection is usually fixable. Nevada typically returns your documents with a short note explaining what was wrong so you can correct the issue and resubmit.

Most delays come from sending the wrong document type, using an incorrect notarization or certification, or leaving parts of the apostille request or fees incomplete.

Common reasons Nevada rejects apostille packets

When an apostille request is rejected, it is usually because something about the underlying document or request does not meet the Secretary of State’s rules, not because the transaction itself is invalid.

  • Submitting the wrong document type, such as a hospital birth record instead of a Nevada vital records certified copy, or a photocopy instead of an original notarized document.
  • Improper or missing notarization, missing certified-copy stamps, incomplete apostille request forms, or incorrect fees for the speed tier you selected.

What Nevada usually does when a request is not acceptable

In most cases, the Nevada Secretary of State returns the entire packet to the sender rather than partially processing it.

  • You receive the original document back with a brief explanation or rejection slip describing what must be fixed before they can issue an apostille.
  • No apostille certificate is created until the corrected packet is resubmitted and accepted, which can add weeks if the issue is not caught early.

How to fix and resubmit a rejected apostille

The correction path depends on what went wrong, but most rejections fall into a few predictable categories that can be remedied without starting everything from scratch.

  • For wrong document type, request the proper certified copy from the issuing Nevada agency or have the correct document notarized in Nevada, then rebuild the packet.
  • For notarial or form errors, have the document re-notarized with correct Nevada wording or update the apostille order form and fees, then resubmit under the same or a different speed tier.

How Lake Mead Mobile Notary helps prevent rejections

Lake Mead Mobile Notary treats “avoid rejection” as a core part of apostille coordination by reviewing documents against Nevada’s expectations before anything is sent to Carson City.

  • Confirming whether your document must be notarized, issued as a certified copy, or obtained from a specific Nevada office before apostille is even possible.
  • Preparing the apostille request, checking signatures, seals, and dates, and aligning shipping or courier choices with your timeline so you are not repeating the process after a preventable rejection.

Did Nevada already reject your apostille packet?

Share the rejection notice and a photo or scan of your documents, and Lake Mead Mobile Notary can map out the exact corrections and a realistic new timeline before you resubmit.

Which Documents Need an Apostille vs a Certified Copy in Nevada

The distinction between apostille and certified copy depends on who created the document and how it's authenticated. Notarized documents (like powers of attorney, affidavits, consent forms) are apostilled as signed originals with the notary's certificate. Vital records and court documents (birth certificates, marriage licenses, court judgments) require certified copies from the issuing agency before the Nevada Secretary of State will apostille them.

Note: The apostille certificate itself is issued exclusively by the Nevada Secretary of State. Lake Mead Mobile Notary coordinates document notarization (when required), obtains certified copies from issuing agencies, and provides courier coordination to submit documents for apostille authentication.

📋 Documents Apostilled as Notarized Originals:

  1. Powers of attorney: General, durable, limited, medical—notarize the signed original, then apostille authenticates the Nevada notary's certificate and seal
  2. Affidavits and sworn statements: Affidavits of support, financial affidavits, name affidavits—notary witnesses signature under oath, apostille authenticates the notarization
  3. Consent and authorization forms: Minor travel consent, parental consent, employment authorization—notarized signatures apostilled as originals
  4. Corporate documents: Resolutions, bylaws, corporate certificates signed by officers—notarized then apostilled as originals
  5. Educational documents (if notarized): Some institutions notarize transcripts or diplomas—these are apostilled as notarized originals

🏛️ Documents Requiring Certified Copy Before Apostille:

  1. Vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates): Must obtain certified copy from Nevada Office of Vital Records or issuing county. Nevada SOS apostilles the vital records office certification, not the original certificate
  2. Court documents and judgments: Divorce decrees, adoption orders, name change orders, court judgments—must obtain certified copy from the court clerk. Nevada SOS apostilles the clerk's certification
  3. County recorded documents: Deeds, mortgages, liens recorded with county recorder—must obtain certified copy from recorder's office before apostille
  4. Business formation documents: Articles of incorporation, LLC operating agreements filed with Nevada SOS—must request certified copy from SOS business division, then authentication division apostilles the certification

⚠️ Real-World Example - Power of Attorney for International Use:

  • You sign a durable power of attorney for property matters in Spain
  • Mobile notary notarizes your signature in Las Vegas with Nevada notarial certificate
  • Document submitted to Nevada Secretary of State as notarized original
  • Nevada SOS apostille authenticates the notary's commission and seal
  • Result: Apostilled POA recognized in Spain under Hague Convention

Different scenario - Birth certificate for Italian citizenship:

  • You need your Nevada birth certificate for Italian dual citizenship application
  • Original birth certificate from hospital CANNOT be apostilled directly
  • Must request certified copy from Nevada Office of Vital Records ($20 per copy)
  • Vital Records issues certified copy with registrar's signature and seal
  • Nevada SOS apostille authenticates the registrar's signature on certified copy
  • Result: Apostilled certified birth certificate recognized by Italian consulate

🌍 Non-Hague Convention Countries: If your destination country is NOT part of the Hague Convention (e.g., United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, several Caribbean nations), the apostille process doesn't apply. You'll need federal authentication through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., followed by legalization from the destination country's embassy or consulate. We coordinate the initial Nevada Secretary of State authentication as the first step in this chain.

💡 Why Professional Document Coordination Matters: The most common apostille rejection is submitting the wrong document type. Examples: (1) Submitting hospital-issued birth certificate instead of state-certified copy (rejected), (2) Attempting to apostille a photocopy instead of original notarized document (rejected), (3) Submitting Nevada documents to wrong state's Secretary of State (rejected). Our apostille coordination service reviews your specific documents and destination country requirements before submission to ensure proper authentication pathway.

🏢 Service Areas for Document Coordination: We provide mobile notarization and apostille document coordination throughout Spring Valley residential areas, Green Valley Ranch communities, and Aliante neighborhoods. We coordinate certified copy requests from Nevada state agencies and county offices as part of our comprehensive apostille preparation services.
