Document from another state? We cover all 50.
Outside Oregon and Washington, a member of our trusted courier team hand-carries your document to the issuing state's authority. Tell us the document and the state that issued it — we'll take it from there.
Your document must be apostilled by the state that issued it
This trips up almost everyone. If you were born in Texas but live in Oregon, your birth certificate is apostilled by Texas — not Oregon. That's exactly why we cover all 50 states: you hand it to us and we handle it for you — directly in Oregon and Washington, or hand-carried by a member of our trusted courier team in every other state. One point of contact, zero legwork. Not sure which state issued yours? Just ask.
Every state document, authenticated for abroad
Vital records are the cleanest and fastest category — they don't require notarization. We also handle notarized documents, diplomas, and business records.

Also apostilled: notarized documents (powers of attorney, affidavits), diplomas and transcripts, single-status letters, and business or corporate records. Not sure if yours qualifies? Use the picker above or call — we'll tell you in a minute.
Needs notarizing first? Documents like powers of attorney, affidavits, and single-status letters have to be notarized before they can be apostilled. Our sister company, The Notaryous LLC, handles mobile notary across Portland Metro & Clark County, WA — so we can notarize and apostille in one coordinated process.
Your state apostille in 3 steps
Tell us the issuing state
Use the picker or call. We confirm which state issued your document — because an apostille must come from the issuing state.
Hand it to us
Send us your state-certified record. (Don't notarize a vital record — it goes straight from the issuing agency to the state authority.) Don't have a certified copy yet? Order one at VitalChek (opens in new tab).
We handle it and return it
In-house for Oregon and Washington, or hand-carried by our courier team elsewhere. The issuing state issues the apostille and we ship it back to you.
Apostilles by issuing state — all 50 states
Oregon and Washington are handled in-house; every other state is covered through our trusted courier team. Start with the picker and we'll route your document to the correct authority.
Chasing the state office vs. handing it to us
You can request an apostille from the issuing state on your own. Here's how that compares to letting us handle it.
| Do it yourself | Oregon Fingerprinting | |
|---|---|---|
| Processing time | Weeks, and it varies by state | As fast as 1–2 business days (OR & WA) |
| Paperwork | You track down every requirement | We handle all of it |
| Rejection risk | High — wrong office or missing items | We catch issues before submission |
| Return shipping | Extra cost, you arrange it | We arrange it — you pick the speed, billed at cost |
| Support | None — you're on your own | A real person, start to finish |
Looking for an FBI background check apostille?
That's a federal document — authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not a state office — so it runs on a separate track. We handle those too — 7–10 business days processing, the fastest in the nation. See our federal apostille → Popular destinations: Mexico, China, India, Philippines, South Korea, and Italy.
Birth, marriage, and more — authenticated for use abroad
We route each document to the state that issued it and return it apostilled for the 120+ Hague Convention countries — Oregon and Washington in-house, every other state through our trusted courier team.
