Prices are quoted in U.S. dollars. We price-match any quote from a comparable Washington State notary and may adjust or waive the fee in humanitarian or compassionate circumstances.
Already-certified public records — birth, marriage, and death certificates from the issuing office — don't need a meeting at all. Mail them in and we take it from there.
Washington apostilles documents that are notarized or certified in Washington. Federal and out-of-state documents follow a different path — check the second list before you lose a week.
No gatekeeping — the Washington Secretary of State serves mail-in and counter requests directly. The current terms:
The official instructions and the request form live on the Secretary of State apostille page.
Figures verified July 2026 — always confirm current fees on the SoS page. Our $115 standard tier exists for everyone who'd rather not manage the round-trip.
More than 130 countries accept apostilles under the 1961 Hague Convention. Viet Nam joins on September 11, 2026 and Thailand on February 28, 2027 — until those dates, documents for the two still need consular legalization. Check your destination:
Our expedited tier returns the apostille by the end of the next business day, priority in three business days, standard in seven. Doing it yourself by mail, the state's own processing typically runs 7–10 business days plus mail time both ways.
The Washington Secretary of State's own fee is $15 per document if you file yourself. Our all-in service starts at $115 for the first document (standard, seven business days), $215 for three days, or $300 for next business day — each additional document $75.
No. A certified copy from the Department of Health or the county recorder goes straight to apostille — and a plain photocopy is rejected, so order a fresh certified copy if you don't have one.
No — an FBI background check is a federal document, so only the U.S. Department of State can apostille it ($20 per document, roughly five weeks by mail). We can point you through that process.
Hague Convention members accept a single apostille certificate. Non-member countries require the longer legalization chain instead — state authentication, then the U.S. Department of State, then the destination country's embassy.
Yes — Ukraine accepts apostilles. We apostille your document, guide you on certified translation, and ship it by Nova Poshta straight to a branch in Ukraine. Service in Ukrainian and Russian.
