Affects

Fees charged by the Lieutenant Governor's office.

Analysis

As part of the state of Utah's budget bill, Senate Bill 8 reduces the fees charged for expedited processing of apostilles and certifications. In some instances, timely issuance of an apostille or certification is needed to facilitate a business or personal need. Some state issuing offices have established expedited processing fees to accommodate these requests. It should be noted that Senate Bill 8 doesn't raise the fees for the apostille or certification itself; these fees remain at the current $15. The budget bill also leaves untouched the fees for Notary applications, testing and duplicate Notary commissions.

Read Senate Bill 8.
