This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - That only the Arizona Secretary of State can issue an apostille for Arizona-notarized documents. - The notary's role ends with the proper notarization; you must refer the signer to the Secretary of State for authentication. - An apostille is used for countries that are members of the Hague Convention, while non-member countries require a multi-step 'chain authentication' process. - The standard fee for an apostille in Arizona is $3 per document, and the original document, not a copy, must be submitted. - A common exam trap is a question that implies the notary is responsible for obtaining or issuing the apostille.
