Oregon and Washington are our home states — handled in-house, start to finish. And because we cover all 50 states, we can apostille documents issued anywhere in the country: birth, marriage, death, and divorce certificates, notarized documents, diplomas, and more, for use abroad.
This is our backyard. We handle Oregon and Washington apostilles start to finish — you hand it to us, we take it to the Secretary of State, and it comes back to you. Choose the timeline that fits your deadline.
These tiers apply to both Oregon and Washington documents, handled in-house. Documents from all other states are hand-carried by our trusted courier team — pricing and timelines vary, so call or text (503) 536-2326 for a quick quote.
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.
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.
Vital records are the cleanest and fastest category — they don't require notarization. We also handle notarized documents, diplomas, and business records.
For dual citizenship, immigration, marriage abroad, residency, and school enrollment.
For spousal visas, dual citizenship, name changes, and residency applications abroad.
For estate matters, inheritance, insurance, and repatriation handled internationally.
For remarriage abroad, immigration, and updating civil status in another country.
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.
Use the picker or call. We confirm which state issued your document — because an apostille must come from the issuing state.
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.
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.
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.
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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | 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 | 2-day shipping included |
| Support | None — you're on your own | A real person, start to finish |
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, in 7–10 business days (the fastest turnaround in the nation). See our federal apostille →
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.
