Need a document issued in Arkansas apostilled for use overseas? You don’t have to be in Arkansas — or visit us in California — to get it done. Orange County Apostille handles Arkansas documents by mail for clients in Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith, and everywhere else in the state. Send your documents in and we manage the entire authentication process.
How it works for Arkansas: A Arkansas document is apostilled by the Arkansas Secretary of State. We prepare and submit your document to that office for you, so you never have to navigate the process yourself.

Federal documents from Arkansas
Some documents issued to Arkansas residents are federal — such as FBI background checks, IRS Form 6166, and documents signed by a U.S. federal official. These are not apostilled by the Arkansas Secretary of State; they’re authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle those too. See our federal apostille page.
Going to a non-Hague country?
If your Arkansas document is destined for a country that isn’t part of the Hague Apostille Convention, it needs full embassy or consulate legalization rather than an apostille. We manage that multi-step process from start to finish.
