Questions

Salem apostille FAQ

Yes. We serve Salem and all of Marion and Polk counties by mail and courier. Federal apostilles (like FBI background checks) are handled nationwide by mail, and Oregon state documents are authenticated through the Oregon Secretary of State — which is right there in Salem. You never have to figure out the process yourself.

For an Oregon state document, you could take it to the Secretary of State in Salem yourself — but you'd still need to know exactly which documents qualify, whether it needs notarization first, and what the destination country requires. And a federal apostille (an FBI check, IRS or immigration document) can't be done in Salem at all — it has to go to the U.S. Department of State. We handle both, correctly, so nothing comes back rejected.

Federal apostille is a flat $350 for the first document and $200 for each additional, processed in 7–10 business days — the fastest in the nation, 2-day return shipping included. Oregon state apostille runs $250 (Standard, ~10 business days), $350 (Premium, 4–5 days), or $450 (White-Glove VIP, 1–2 days). Additional fees may apply and will be discussed when you order.

Upload a scan to get started, then send the original by mail or courier — or, if it's convenient, drop it at our Beaverton office about 45 minutes north. We return the apostilled document to you by mail, 2-day shipping included on federal orders.
