Notarized in Hawaii: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Hawaii, the apostille is issued by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Honolulu.
- Hague Convention destination: the Hawaii apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Hawaii-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor directly. Once your document has its Hawaii authentication, we handle the U.S. Department of State and embassy steps for non-Hague destinations ($399).
Get the notarial wording right before signing — requirements vary by destination, and a mistake means redoing the whole chain.
