The Business and Commercial (BCS) Services Division of the Secretary of State has been designated as the Competent Authority for the State of Arkansas, and therefore is the only Arkansas official that may issue Apostilles and Certifications on public documents to be used abroad. There are strict standards for the Apostille and Certificate process. The Arkansas Secretary of State will not authenticate documents that do not comply. Please read all instructions in our Apostille & Certification brochure carefully then you may follow the links below.
Note: It is the responsibility of the requesting party to determine which type of authenticating document is required by the country where the document will be sent.
