An adoption dossier is a collection of personal documents and forms that are required in order to adopt a child. The dossier must be completed and submitted to the adoption agency or government office responsible for processing the adoption. An apostille is a certificate issued by a government official that authenticates the origin and contents of a document.

Apostilles are typically requested when adopting a child from another country and submitting the dossier to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The USCIS requires that all foreign documents, including the adoption dossier, be apostilled before they will review the dossier. According to the Alabama Secretary of State Office, the process for getting an Apostille in Alabama is as follows:

Complete and notarize the Apostille Request Form. Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Checks should be made payable to the Alabama Secretary of State.

Mail the notarized form and document(s) to be authenticated, along with the self-addressed stamped envelope, to the address below. The office will process the request upon receipt.

Office of the Secretary of State

In order to get an apostille for an adoption dossier in Alabama, one must first request a certified copy of the adoption decree from the probate court that granted the adoption.
