apostille is a certificate issued (in the U.K.) by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). It confirms that a document was signed by the person whose signature is on the document. Often this is the signature of a notary, but the FCO also has other signatures registered with it, such as those of solicitors and officials. Each document carries its own apostille and these cost £12 each. For more information see "What does legalisation or authentication of a document mean".

The fastest way to obtain a certificate is to go to a Vital Statistics office located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, or Juneau. If filled out correctly, many requests can be processed while you wait.

Payment is accepted in the form of a check or money order payable to the Registrar/City of Troy or cash.
