In Maine, the process of document authentication is managed by the Secretary of State, who issues two types of authentications: apostilles and certifications. The type of authentication you need depends on the destination country of your document.
Apostilles: Used for countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
Certifications: Required for countries not participating in the Hague Convention.
If you need an apostille for a document issued in Maine, you can submit your request by mail or in person. Here's what you need to provide:
Original Document: Submit the original notarized or certified document.
Contact Information: Include your full contact details.
Destination Country: Specify the foreign country where the document will be used.
The state fee for each authentication is $10 per document. Please remember that Maine can only authenticate documents issued within the state. If your document, such as a corporate filing, was issued in another state, you must contact that state's Secretary of State.
Before you can obtain an apostille, Maine requires the original document to be either certified or notarized. This ensures the document’s authenticity and legality in the foreign country where it will be used.
When conducting international business or personal affairs, you may need an apostille or certification for various documents, including:
Corporate filings (e.g., Articles of Incorporation)
Academic documents (e.g., diplomas, transcripts)
Legal documents (e.g., marriage certificates, adoption papers)
Property documents (e.g., deeds, contracts)
If the destination country does not recognize apostilles, you will need a certification instead, which might require additional authentication by the U.S. Department of State or the destination country’s embassy.
