[WSBAPT] Court clerk certification

[nestor at pplsweb.com]

Typically you have an original certified copy of the adoption sent to the secretary of state for the apostille. The type of apostille they provide will depend on whether the Country is a signee of the Hague Convention or not. You will inform the SOS the country requesting the document and they will know which form of apostille to attach in order to authenticate.

I suspect that you will need an apostille – an international form of authenticity provided by the Secretary of State. The SOS website has a  <https://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/apostilles/howtoobtainanapostilleorcertification.aspx> "how to obtain an apostille" page. 

It appears that King County will send the requested documents to the SOS, which will attach the apostille. I would call the SOS to find out whether they need certified or exemplified documents from King County.

Hope this helps,

John

Maybe you can get “authenticated” copies.

Hi, all,

 

I have clients who are trying to get their WA adoption recognized in France. The French bureaucracy wants proof that the Decree of Adoption (signed by a judge and filed with the court) is final.  From my experience with ancillary probates, I know there are two different certification-plus things the court clerk can do. However, I can’t remember what they are called – maybe verification and something else. Help?
