General Questions
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a legal certification that makes a document from one country valid in another. Employers or educational institutions outside the United States sometimes require students or alumni to have transcripts, diplomas, or certificates apostilled to be considered valid.
Can my apostilled documents be mailed to me outside of the US?
The Lt. Governor WILL NOT mail your documents to you outside of the US through the U.S. postal service. If you are not currently living in the US, your apostilled documents can be mailed to a friend or family member who resides in the US. Alternatively, you can also use a prepaid FedEx airbill to mail the documents directly to you in your country using this link. More information about FedEx airbills can be found in the “FedEx Airbill Questions” section of the webpage.
Does BYU-Pathway Worldwide (BYUPW) charge for apostilled documents?
BYU-Pathway Worldwide does not charge to print and notarize your documents. Students who need diplomas and certificates apostilled do not need to order or pay for a duplicate copy of their diploma or certificate. To avoid charges, please send your request directly to BYUPW using our Notarized/Apostilled Documents link.
How much does the Lt. Governor of Utah charge for apostilled documents?
The Lt. Governor charges $20 per document (not per page). To avoid unnecessary expenses, please verify that an apostille is required for your intended purpose.
When do I pay the Lt. Governor for the apostille?
You must enter credit card information on the Apostille Request Form. Once the Lt. Governor’s Office receives notarized copies of your documents from BYUPW, they will process your request and charge your credit card. Payment for the apostilled documents must be made before they ship them to you.

Apostille Request Form Questions
What country Should I list for “Country document(s) will be used in”?
List the country that requires you to have your documents apostilled. For example, if you need the apostille for employment, then it will be the country where you will work. If you need the apostille for further education, then it will be the country where you will be attending school.
What number should I provide for “Number of Documents”?
Your transcript is considered a single document regardless of how many pages it is. Each diploma or certificate is a separate document. For example, if you need an official transcript, your bachelor’s degree, and 3 certificates apostilled, then you are requesting 5 documents to be apostilled.
What should I put for “Requester Information”?
You are the “requestor,” and this should be your name, address, and phone number.
What should I put for “Mailing Address to return document if different from Requester”?
This is the address you want the Lt. Governor to use to mail your documents back to you. It does not have to be your own address. Since the Lt. Governor will not mail documents outside the United States, you may want to have your documents sent to a friend or family member who lives in the United States and have that person forward the documents to you.
What should I select for “Method of Payment”?
You must select the Credit Card option.
Do not select the “Check” option because we do not have a way to include a personal check from you to the Lt. Governor. Once the Lt. Governor’s office receives your application and documents from BYUPW, they will process your request and charge your credit card. Please add your phone number in case the Lt. Governor’s office needs to reach you regarding your application for an apostille.
What should I select for the “Method of Delivery”?
Do not select “Pick up in person” unless you live in or Salt Lake City, Utah, and intend to go to the Lt. Governor’s office to pick up the apostille.
Only select the overnight/express service delivery option if you have prepaid for shipping using FedEx or another provider. You will need to upload a PDF of your shipping label so that we can print it and send it to the Lt. Governor with your Apostille Request Form. See “FedEx Airbill Questions” for more details about prepaid shipping through FedEx.
What should I put for the “Tracking #”?
Only overnight/express delivery comes with a tracking number. If you paid FedEx for overnight delivery and received a tracking number from them, then you can enter that number here.
FedEx Airbill Questions
How is the FedEx Airbill used?
The airbill is used to prepay the cost of shipping from the Lt. Governor to your desired destination. After purchasing the airbill from FedEx, you will upload a pdf of the prepaid shipping label when you submit your request form to us. We print it and send it with your Apostille Request Form and documents to the Lt. Governor. They will attach the shipping label to the envelope used to ship your documents to your desired destination.
What should I use for the “From” mailing address and phone number?
Use the Lt. Governor’s office address and phone number listed on the Apostille Request Form.
Office of the Lieutenant Governor
350 North State Street, Suite 220
Salt Lake City, Utah 84114
Phone 801-538-1041
What should I use for the “To” mailing address and phone number?
The address will be where you want the Lt. Governor to send your documents. Provide a phone number where you can be reached if necessary.
Which shipping option should I select?
You can choose either the FedEx One Rate or the FedEx Standard Rates shipping option.
If you choose the FedEx One Rate option, you will select the FedEx Envelope as the package type.
If you choose the FedEx Standard Rates, you will use .5 pounds as the shipping weight and FedEx Envelope as the package type.
What Delivery Date should I choose?
Choose the farthest delivery date available. The Lt. Governor cannot send you the apostilled documents until they have received the documents from us and payment is captured from you.
