Avoiding Rejection: A Guide to the Ohio Death Certificate Apostille Process
Must Be a Certified Copy:
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Ohio Department of Health, Vital Statistics Office. It must have the official seal and the signature of the State Registrar.
Certificate Must Be Recent:
Ohio enforces a strict recency requirement. The certification date on the vital record must be within one year of the date it is submitted to the Ohio Secretary of State for the apostille.
Do Not Notarize the Certificate:
The certified death certificate itself should not be notarized. The apostille is applied based on the signature of the State Registrar. Notarizing it is an incorrect step that will cause rejection.
Complete the Request Package:
Ensure your submission includes all required elements: The original, recent, certified death certificate. The correct fee (check the OH Secretary of State website for the current fee). A cover letter with your contact information and the country of intended use. A self-addressed, stamped envelope for return shipping.
