Apostille in Morelos

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: Sparse entry: authority name and office address only. The historic fee is expressed in a superseded unit ("1 salario mínimo", now UMA-based) and cannot be converted to centavos without inventing the multiplier — the statement is kept verbatim in apostille.note instead. Phase-4 manual re-verification queue

Who issues the apostille

Competent authority

Área de certificaciones, Secretaría de Gobierno

Apostilles documents issued by Morelos 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. Official link (per the reference, a search pointer rather than a fetchable page): www.morelos.gob.mx (search "apostilla")

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.
From the source: No Mexican state was found to issue true electronic apostilles (apostilla electrónica) as of Aug 2026 — all 32 state processes located are in-person/paper

Where to go in person

Cuernavaca

Calle Gutemberg No. 4, Col. Centro, C.P. 62000, Cuernavaca

From the source: Address per the undated SRE consulate directory (retrieved 2026-08-09); no hours or access mode published there

What it costs

No fee amount is published for this office. What the source does say about cost is below.

Fee: the only figure on record is the dated HCCH state PDF's "1 salario mínimo" hist. (unverified; the salario-mínimo reference unit has since been replaced by the UMA) — no peso amount is published, and none was computed here, so fees[] is empty rather than carrying a derived figure. 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

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.

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.
