United StatesFAQ
It depends on the document. Many federal records must be authenticated in their original, agency-issued form, and a plain photocopy will be rejected. Some require a certified copy from the issuing agency. Tell us which document you have and we will confirm exactly what the Department of State needs before you send anything.
Processing time at the Office of Authentications is set by the Department of State and moves with their workload, so we do not publish a fixed turnaround we cannot control. What we do control is everything on either side of it: documents reviewed before submission, tracked shipping both directions, and status updates while your file is in Washington. We give you a current estimate when you place the order.
It depends entirely on the destination country. If the country is a member of the 1961 Hague Convention, an apostille from the U.S. Department of State is sufficient on its own. If it is not a member — the UAE, Qatar, Vietnam, Egypt and Taiwan among others — the document needs Department of State authentication first, followed by legalization at that country's embassy or consulate. Tell us where the document is going and we will confirm the correct path.
A federal document is issued by a U.S. government agency or a federal court — the FBI, IRS, SSA, USCIS, the Department of Defense, a U.S. District Court. Those authenticate through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. Documents issued by a state — birth certificates, marriage licenses, state court records, diplomas — go through that state's Secretary of State instead. Send us the document details and we will tell you which route yours takes.
