The distinction between apostille and certified copy depends on who created the document and how it's authenticated. Notarized documents (like powers of attorney, affidavits, consent forms) are apostilled as signed originals with the notary's certificate. Vital records and court documents (birth certificates, marriage licenses, court judgments) require certified copies from the issuing agency before the Nevada Secretary of State will apostille them.

Note: The apostille certificate itself is issued exclusively by the Nevada Secretary of State. Lake Mead Mobile Notary coordinates document notarization (when required), obtains certified copies from issuing agencies, and provides courier coordination to submit documents for apostille authentication.

📋 Documents Apostilled as Notarized Originals:

1. Powers of attorney: General, durable, limited, medical—notarize the signed original, then apostille authenticates the Nevada notary's certificate and seal
2. Affidavits and sworn statements: Affidavits of support, financial affidavits, name affidavits—notary witnesses signature under oath, apostille authenticates the notarization
3. Consent and authorization forms: Minor travel consent, parental consent, employment authorization—notarized signatures apostilled as originals
4. Corporate documents: Resolutions, bylaws, corporate certificates signed by officers—notarized then apostilled as originals
5. Educational documents (if notarized): Some institutions notarize transcripts or diplomas—these are apostilled as notarized originals

🏛️ Documents Requiring Certified Copy Before Apostille:

1. Vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates): Must obtain certified copy from Nevada Office of Vital Records or issuing county. Nevada SOS apostilles the vital records office certification, not the original certificate
2. Court documents and judgments: Divorce decrees, adoption orders, name change orders, court judgments—must obtain certified copy from the court clerk. Nevada SOS apostilles the clerk's certification
3. County recorded documents: Deeds, mortgages, liens recorded with county recorder—must obtain certified copy from recorder's office before apostille
4. Business formation documents: Articles of incorporation, LLC operating agreements filed with Nevada SOS—must request certified copy from SOS business division, then authentication division apostilles the certification

⚠️ Real-World Example - Power of Attorney for International Use:

• You sign a durable power of attorney for property matters in Spain
• Mobile notary notarizes your signature in Las Vegas with Nevada notarial certificate
• Document submitted to Nevada Secretary of State as notarized original
• Nevada SOS apostille authenticates the notary's commission and seal
• Result: Apostilled POA recognized in Spain under Hague Convention

Different scenario - Birth certificate for Italian citizenship:

• You need your Nevada birth certificate for Italian dual citizenship application
• Original birth certificate from hospital CANNOT be apostilled directly
• Must request certified copy from Nevada Office of Vital Records ($20 per copy)
• Vital Records issues certified copy with registrar's signature and seal
• Nevada SOS apostille authenticates the registrar's signature on certified copy
• Result: Apostilled certified birth certificate recognized by Italian consulate

🌍 Non-Hague Convention Countries: If your destination country is NOT part of the Hague Convention (e.g., United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, several Caribbean nations), the apostille process doesn't apply. You'll need federal authentication through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., followed by legalization from the destination country's embassy or consulate. We coordinate the initial Nevada Secretary of State authentication as the first step in this chain.

💡 Why Professional Document Coordination Matters: The most common apostille rejection is submitting the wrong document type. Examples: (1) Submitting hospital-issued birth certificate instead of state-certified copy (rejected), (2) Attempting to apostille a photocopy instead of original notarized document (rejected), (3) Submitting Nevada documents to wrong state's Secretary of State (rejected). Our apostille coordination service reviews your specific documents and destination country requirements before submission to ensure proper authentication pathway.

🏢 Service Areas for Document Coordination: We provide mobile notarization and apostille document coordination throughout Spring Valley residential areas, Green Valley Ranch communities, and Aliante neighborhoods. We coordinate certified copy requests from Nevada state agencies and county offices as part of our comprehensive apostille preparation services.
