How Apostille Works for Kazakhstan
Identify which U.S. state issued the document (this determines where the apostille is obtained).

Submit the document to the Secretary of State (or U.S. Department of State for federal documents) for the apostille.
Obtain a certified Kazakh/Russian translation if required by Kazakhstan authorities.
Present the apostilled (and translated) document to the receiving authority in Kazakhstan.
Apostille for Kazakhstan — FAQ
Do I need an apostille or authentication for documents going to Kazakhstan?
Kazakhstan is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents only require an apostille from the issuing state's Secretary of State (or U.S. Department of State for federal documents). No embassy legalization is needed.
How long does the apostille process take for Kazakhstan?
Standard processing typically takes 5–15 business days depending on the issuing state. We offer expedited 24–72 hour service for urgent Kazakhstan submissions. Federal documents handled by the U.S. Department of State usually take 8–12 weeks via mail or 1–2 weeks expedited.
Do documents going to Kazakhstan need to be translated?
Yes, Kazakhstan typically requires a certified Kazakh/Russian translation. We coordinate with sworn/certified translators familiar with Kazakhstan requirements to ensure your translated documents are accepted.
Can I get an FBI background check apostilled for Kazakhstan?
Yes. FBI background checks are federal documents that must be apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle the entire process — channeling, FBI report retrieval, and apostille — for use in Kazakhstan.
