Authentications and Apostilles
A specific format of an authentication certificate that is required by certain countries is called Apostille. This kind of certificate can only be requested from the Secretary of State's office.
Remarks: It is important to specify which
foreign country is involved, so this Office can determine if an
Apostille or "regular" Authentication is necessary. Use of the
wrong certificate can cause a document to be rejected by the
foreign country.

help persons who have been adopted or whose birth parents have
terminated their parental rights in Wisconsin to obtain information
