I have been told that I need to get an apostille seal. How do I do that?
You may apply to the Tennessee Vital Records Office for an apostille. Follow the instructions to request a certified copy and include one check made payable to Tennessee Vital Records for the required copies. Include a second check made payable to the Tennessee Secretary of State for the apostille; the fee for the apostille is $2.00 for each document. After preparing your certified copies, the Vital Records Office will forward your copies, your check, and your request to the Tennessee Secretary of State. The Secretary of State will apply the apostille and return your documents to you as directed in your request.
