Apostille services in Seattle, WA
Washington's apostille authority sits in Olympia, an hour-plus south of the city — and apostilles are handled by mail anyway. So for Seattle, mailing it to us isn't a compromise; it's the clean way to do it. Upload your document, send us the original, and we route it to the U.S. Department of State (federal) or the Washington Secretary of State in Olympia (state) and mail it back ready to use abroad. Federal apostilles come back faster than anywhere in the nation.
Apostilles for Seattle & the greater metro
Few cities generate more documents bound for other countries than Seattle. University of Washington students and researchers heading abroad, tech professionals on international assignment with Amazon, Microsoft and Boeing, global families pursuing dual citizenship, and couples marrying overseas all need the same thing: a U.S. document authenticated so it's recognized in a Hague Convention country. That's an apostille — and you shouldn't have to drive to Olympia or decode the federal process to get one.
We serve Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Everett, and the wider Puget Sound completely by mail. You send it once; we handle the rest and mail it back.
