Secretary of State

**review specifically of the notary office here***
Very friendly staff here at the notary office in Topeka. Every time I called, I got a live person (not a voice service) who was very informative, eager to help and friendly. I did everything over the phone and by mail to get my birth certificate Apostille, for dual citizenship purposes. Very straight forward and easy process. .. a piece of cake compared to the state of New Jersey (TRAIN WRECK)
I was even able to request a new birth certificate and get it apostilled at the same time all over the phone/​email.. . remember you still must prove identification by drivers license AND PAssport (used in my case) which I faxed over to the office.
I think it was $ 7.50 for the apostille and around $ 10 for the birth certificate
this state was by far the easiest to get something apostilled and the cheapest … NJ was the most expensive and the worst. .. but we’ll save all that for another review
