Apostille in Estado de México

Verified as of August 9, 2026

Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page carries an unverified marker — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

About this entry's sources: Edomex portals blocked automated fetch on the research date (reference §5 blocked-site list); office data comes from the SRE consulate directory and the fee from the dated HCCH state PDF. State derechos reset each January in the Ley de Ingresos. Phase-4 manual re-verification queue

Who issues the apostille

Competent authority

Secretaría General de Gobierno — legalization unit (subdirección de legalizaciones)

Contact email in the SRE directory: subdireccion.legalizaciones@edomex.gob.mx. Apostilles documents issued by Estado de México state and municipal authorities and acts of notarios públicos of the state (civil-registry actas, state school certificates, notarial instruments, state court documents). Federal-authority documents go to SEGOB (mx/federal); a document from another state must be apostilled by that state — the signature must be registered with the office that apostilles

Which documents this office will accept

From the source: Requirements (typical): original document (e.g., a certified acta from the Edomex Registro Civil), photo ID, payment receipt (formato universal de pago), destination country. Private documents must first be notarized before a notario público (or certified by a registered official), then apostilled by the state; there is no multi-step legalization chain inside Mexico for Hague-destination documents — a single apostille suffices

Certifications you may need first

No additional certification step is required before the apostille.

The request form

The request form is not published online — confirm with the office whether it wants a form, and which one, before you send anything.

What the source does say about this office is in the notes at the end of this page.

What it costs

Fee

$149.00 MXN per document unverified

$149 MXN per document — historic HCCH figure (the dated HCCH state PDF), "almost certainly out of date"; the current fee is set annually — confirm with Secretaría de Finanzas Edomex / portal de pagos (sfpya.edomexico.gob.mx) (current amount not found)

“Unverified” marks a value we could not confirm against an official page. Facts without the marker are not therefore audited — always confirm money and addresses with the office before you send anything.

How to pay

In person: Bank deposit.
From the source: Payment receipt ("formato universal de pago") is presented with the application; the source does not state the banks or whether online payment is accepted. No check payee — the fee is a government-derechos payment

Where to send your documents

No mailing address is published for this office. Do not send original documents anywhere until you have confirmed the address with the office itself.

How long it takes unverified

In person: 2–4 business days (aggregator) (unverified)

Checking status and verifying an apostille

Verify an issued apostille: No public verification register is published for this office. That is not the same as an apostille being unverifiable — ask the office how it confirms one.
Check a request's status: No status-tracking page is published for this office.

Remote online notarization

Mexico has no remote online notarization. Notarial acts are performed by civil-law notarios públicos, and a document notarized remotely abroad has no notarial value here. The source's own statement is reproduced verbatim in the notes on this page.

Other things the source says

No RON: Mexico uses civil-law notarios públicos, has no Remote Online Notarization equivalent, and foreign RON documents have no notarial value in Mexico — the ron block is null on every Mexican entry
