Oregon requirements to know

Only original notarized documents are accepted; photocopies are not accepted.
The notarized document must include a complete notarial certificate.
A separate apostille/authentication and $10 fee is required for each document, though one request form may list multiple documents.
Vital records (birth/death/marriage certificates) must first be obtained as original certified copies from the Oregon Center for Health Statistics or county before submission.

Once you have the eligible document, GFG can review it, coordinate the apostille process, and arrange tracked return shipping. Additional certification requirements may apply depending on how the document was issued.
