Can I get a document apostilled
or authenticated in Texas in a
non-English foreign language?
Yes.
The Texas Secretary of State will issue an apostille or authentication certificate on any non-recordable document that is in a foreign language as long as it’s properly notarized by a Texas notary public.
But the entire notary jurat or acknowledgment text must be in all English it cannot be in any non-English language.
If you have a Texas recordable document (birth certificate, death certificate, marriage license, marriage certificate, divorce certificate, divorce decree, TXDPS criminal background checks, etc.) that has been translated into another non-English language you must have the original English version attached to the translated copy and it must be properly signed by a translator and a Texas notary public.
