What We Apostille in Alabama

Every Alabama-issued vital record, authenticated by Alabama Department of Public Health, Center for Health Statistics.

The Document Must Be Apostilled by the State That Issued It

This trips up most people. If you were born in Texas but live in California, your birth certificate is apostilled by Texas, not California. Our order form asks which state issued the document and routes it to the correct state automatically. If you are not sure, just ask us.

One Flat, All-In Price

The same price in every state. No per-state quotes, no hidden checkout fees. Return shipping is included.

How Fast You Will Have It in Alabama

These are business days of processing once your document reaches us. Your timeline starts the day it arrives, so allow a few business days for your original to reach us by mail first, and a couple of days for the finished apostille to reach you.

What to Watch For With an Alabama Record

The verified, state-specific rules that trip people up, so your apostille is not rejected.

  • Alabama is unique: the Department of Public Health issues the certified copy and the Secretary of State apostille together as one product, $25 per copy, by mail, phone, or in person in Montgomery.
  • Birth, death, marriage, and divorce apostilles all come through the ADPH Center for Health Statistics; you do not order the copy and apostille separately.
  • Birth records are access-restricted for 125 years and death for 25 years, so an authorized requester and ID are required.
  • Marriage records are held from 1936 (earlier from the county probate office) and divorce from 1950 (earlier from the circuit court).
