An apostille makes your document official abroad — and getting it wrong means it comes back rejected. We handle both kinds under one roof: federal apostille for FBI checks and federal records (the fastest in the nation), and state apostille for Oregon, Washington, and all 50 states. Tell us your document and we'll take it from there.
It comes down to one thing: who issued your document. Pick the path that matches yours — and if you're unsure, call and we'll sort it in a minute.
For documents issued by the U.S. government — authenticated by the U.S. Department of State.
$350 first document · 7–10 business days processing · 2-day shipping included — the fastest in the nation.
For documents issued by a U.S. state — authenticated by the state that issued them.
From $250 for Oregon & Washington (in-house) · all 50 states covered.
The easiest way to tell them apart: if the document came from a federal agency (FBI, IRS, USCIS), it's a federal apostille. If it came from a state (a county or state vital records office), it's a state apostille. Still unsure? Call us — we'll identify it in a minute.
An apostille is an internationally recognized certificate that verifies your document is genuine, so a foreign government will accept it without an embassy visit. It's required across the 120+ countries in the Hague Apostille Convention — for visas, dual citizenship, overseas work and study, marriage abroad, adoption, and more.
Get it wrong — wrong authority, missing notarization, an out-of-date certified copy — and it comes back rejected, costing you weeks. That's the part we take off your plate: we know exactly where each document goes and what it needs before it's submitted.
Many countries also require a certified translation. We handle that too — get the apostille first, then translate the full packet.
Federal or state, we'll confirm which apostille it needs and exactly what's required — before anything is submitted.
Bring it in, upload it, or mail it. We prepare every form and route it to the correct authority — the U.S. Department of State or the issuing state.
