WASHINGTON APOSTILLE
Apostille Services in Washington — Fast, Secure, Nationwide
For Washington residents planning a move abroad, marrying overseas, pursuing dual citizenship, or filing corporate paperwork internationally, apostille authentication is handled through the Washington Office of the Secretary of State. Washington State's Office of the Secretary of State in Olympia handles apostilles — not to be confused with the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC, which handles federal apostilles. We manage submission, tracking, and international return shipping.
Service fee includes state filing fees and U.S. domestic return shipping via 2-day FedEx (UPS used for federal documents only). International return shipping available for an additional fee.
