What qualifies

Federal documents, authenticated for abroad

A federal apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State — not a state office — because the document itself is federal. The rate is a flat $350 regardless of document type, plus $200 for each additional document in the same order.

Not sure if your document is federal or state? Birth, marriage, death, and divorce certificates are state documents — see our state apostille page. When in doubt, call and we'll tell you in a minute.

Questions

Federal apostille FAQ

It's an official certification issued by the U.S. Department of State that authenticates a federal document — like an FBI background check — for use in a country that belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention. Without it, foreign governments won't accept the document.

$350 for the first document and $200 for each additional document in the same order — the same flat federal rate no matter the document type. 2-day return shipping is included at no extra charge.

7–10 business days from when we receive your document — the fastest turnaround in the nation. The standard mail-in process through the Department of State takes 5–8 weeks or longer.

Yes. Federal documents (like an FBI background check) are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State. State documents (birth, marriage, death, and divorce certificates) are authenticated by the issuing state. We handle both — see our state apostille page.

Many countries require a certified translation alongside the apostilled document. Get the apostille first, then translate the full packet. We handle translation too, certified or standard, typically $50 to $75 per page.
