Apostille services in Olympia, WA

Yes, the Washington Secretary of State is right here in Olympia — but that only covers Washington state documents. The moment a federal document is involved, like an FBI background check or an immigration record, it doesn't go to Olympia at all; it goes to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle the whole packet — making sure each document is prepared correctly, routed to the right authority, and returned ready to use abroad, with the fastest federal apostille turnaround in the nation.

Serving the capital & South Sound

Apostilles for Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater & beyond

As the state capital, Olympia is full of people whose documents cross borders — state employees on international assignments, Evergreen State College students and faculty studying and teaching abroad, and families pursuing dual citizenship or overseas moves. The Secretary of State handling Washington documents is a short drive away, but the federal side of an apostille — and the notarization and preparation that has to happen first — is where most orders stall. We take all of it off your plate.

We serve Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and the wider South Sound. Hand off your documents or mail them; we handle the rest and return them apostilled.

Questions

Olympia apostille FAQ

For a single Washington state document, the office being in town is convenient. But most people also have a federal document in the mix — an FBI background check or immigration record — and those don't go to Olympia at all; they're authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle the whole packet, make sure each document is prepared and notarized correctly first, and route each one to the right authority so nothing bounces back.

Yes. An FBI background check is a federal document, so it's apostilled by the U.S. Department of State, not the Washington Secretary of State. We prepare and submit it for you and return it apostilled — with the fastest federal turnaround in the nation.
