Apostille in Jalisco

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: Both Jalisco portals resisted automated fetch (JS catalog; TLS-blocked services portal), so office data comes from the SRE consulate directory and both fees 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 — área de apostillado (Subsecretaría de Gobierno)

Tel. (33) 3819 2470. Apostilles documents issued by Jalisco state and municipal authorities and acts of notarios públicos of the state. 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: 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.

Requesting online

Online route: There is no online request route — this office takes requests on paper. unverified
From the source: No confirmed electronic apostille. The SGG catalog page (https://sgg.jalisco.gob.mx/tramites-y-servicios) is a JavaScript catalog whose apostille entry was not extractable by automated fetch, and an online-services portal exists at https://serviciossgg.jalisco.gob.mx (TLS-blocked to automated fetch; scope of apostille functionality unconfirmed) — so "none" is the best-attested reading, not a confirmed absence. No Mexican state was found to issue true electronic apostilles as of Aug 2026

“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.

What it costs

Fee

$125.00 MXN unverified

Applies to: all (servicio ordinario)

The source does not state how this fee is counted.

$125 ordinario — historic figure from the dated HCCH state PDF (which the reference names as an example of that PDF's stale fees), "almost certainly out of date"; the current fee is set each year in the Ley de Ingresos del Estado de Jalisco (current amount not found) Unit not stated by the source (bare fee column); §4.4 warns "several states charge per document, some per signature/page", so the unit is "unstated" rather than assumed.

Faster service

In person

$250.00 MXN unverified

The source does not state how this fee is counted.

Turnaround: unstated ("urgente" — the historic two-speed service; no turnaround published)

$250 urgente — historic figure from the dated HCCH state PDF (unverified); two speeds (ordinario/urgente) existed historically, current amounts set each year in the Ley de Ingresos del Estado de Jalisco Unit not stated by the source (bare fee column); §4.4 warns "several states charge per document, some per signature/page", so the unit is "unstated" rather than assumed.

How to pay

Payment methods are not published for this office. That is a gap in the source, not a statement that no payment is required — ask the office how it takes payment before you go.

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

Processing time is not published for this office.

From the source: Two speeds historically (ordinario/urgente); no turnaround figures published for either

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
