Апостил: Federal — U.S. Department of State
Какви документи приема тази служба
- От източника
Document must be "an original or certified copy"; "seals and signatures are originals"; must include "legible signature of the official's name, printed name and title, and seal of the agency." Warning verbatim: "Do not notarize your document. Your document will no longer be valid if it is notarized." (applies to federal-agency documents; a translation, if needed, is what gets notarized)

Отдалечено онлайн нотариално заверяване
Този орган издава апостили, но не оправомощава лица за нотариални действия, затова на това ниво няма правила за отдалечено заверяване. Те принадлежат на щата или провинцията, в която съответното лице притежава такова правомощие.
Какво друго посочва източникът
Documents that require the FEDERAL apostille are those signed by a "U.S. federal official," "U.S. consular officer," "Military notary or judge advocate," or "Foreign consul registered with the U.S. Department of State's Office of Protocol." Examples listed on travel.state.gov: "FBI background checks issued by U.S. Department of Justice" (FBI Identity History Summary) and "Federal court documents ... issued by U.S. Department of Justice" [sic]; "Certification of U.S. tax residency issued by Internal Revenue Service (IRS)" (Form 6166); USDA animal and plant certifications; USPTO patent and trademark applications; DHS certificate of naturalization; documents issued by the "Environmental Protection Agency, Social Security Administration, or Office of Personnel Management". FDA export certificates and DEA documents are federal-agency documents and follow the same route but are not itemized by name on the examples list (unverified as named examples — the "any U.S. federal official" rule covers them). E-register: no public online e-register for federal apostilles was located on travel.state.gov (unverified — no e-register page found as of Aug 2026); verification of an issued federal apostille is by contacting the Office of Authentications. Emergency appointments: authcert@state.gov
