Whether you're a South Sound family heading overseas or a service member near Joint Base Lewis-McChord facing a tight PCS timeline, an apostille is what makes your U.S. document official abroad — and you shouldn't have to drive to Olympia or navigate the federal process to get one. 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. Federal apostilles come back faster than anywhere in the nation.
Tacoma's mix of military families, University of Washington Tacoma students, healthcare professionals, and Port of Tacoma trade workers means a lot of people here need a document authenticated for another country. Overseas assignments, spousal visas, dual citizenship, teaching abroad — an apostille is the step that makes your U.S. paperwork count internationally. Military moves in particular run on deadlines, and we build around them.
We cover Tacoma, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Lakewood, Puyallup, University Place, and the wider South Sound completely by mail. You send it once; we handle the rest and mail it back.
