Who issues an Apostille certificate?

  1. Department of Motor Vehicles

  2. Local library services

  3. Secretary of State

  4. County Sheriff's Office

The correct answer is: Secretary of State

An Apostille certificate is issued by the Secretary of State. This certificate is used to authenticate the signature and seal of a notary public on a document so that it can be recognized in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. The other options listed (Department of Motor Vehicles, Local library services, County Sheriff's Office) do not have the authority or responsibility to issue Apostille certificates.
