> Apostille guide for American Samoa, United States: the competent authority is Office of the Secretary of American Samoa (OSAS). Verified 2026-08-09.

Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page is marked "(unverified)" — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

- **Jurisdiction:** American Samoa, United States
- **Verified as of:** August 9, 2026

## Who issues the apostille

Office of the Secretary of American Samoa (OSAS)

HCCH designation: Secretary of American Samoa; Attorney General of American Samoa. Current Secretary listed as High Chief Pulumataala Ae Ae Jr.

## Which documents this office will accept

- **From the source:** Pre-certification: original document + government-issued ID of requester

## Certifications you may need first

No additional certification step is required before the apostille.

## The request form

The request form is not published online — confirm with the office whether it wants a form, and which one, before you send anything.

## Requesting online

Part of the request is made online; the documents themselves still reach the office on paper. Portal: https://www.osas.as/copy-of-modernization "Walk-ins are preferred, but you may also apply online" (Google Form linked from the OSAS page) or email the completed service request form; fees are paid at the Accounts Payable Office

## Where to go in person

- **Pago Pago (Fagatogo)** — 2nd floor, Lumana'i Building, Fagatogo (toward the Fagatogo Malae), Pago Pago Open for walk-in service. Hours: 7:30 am–4:00 pm Mon–Fri; applications accepted 8:00 am–2:00 pm "Walk-ins are preferred, but you may also apply online" (Google Form) or email the completed service request form to secretaryofamericansamoa@go.as.gov

## What it costs

- **$25.00 USD** per document — Verbatim: "All authentication fees are $25.00 per document. Additional fees may apply."

## How to pay

- Payment instruments not stated. Fees are paid NOT at OSAS but at the Accounts Payable Office, 1st floor, Executive Office Building, Utulei

## Where to send your documents

No mailing address is published for this office. Do not send original documents anywhere until you have confirmed the address with the office itself.

## How long it takes

- This office publishes no turnaround commitment. Nothing here is estimated from other offices.
- Processing time: not stated (documents are reviewed, sent for the Secretary's signature, returned to OSAS for release) — (unverified)

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- No public verification register is published for this office. That is not the same as an apostille being unverifiable — ask the office how it confirms one.

## Remote online notarization

Our source's remote-notarization survey covers the 50 states and the District of Columbia, so it records nothing for American Samoa. That is a gap in the source — not a statement that remote notarization is, or is not, available here.

## Other things the source says

Request form: OSAS service request form (client portion) — linked from https://www.osas.as/copy-of-modernization (Google Form/online option on page); form format/kind not stated, so requestForm stays null rather than a guessed kind

> **RCW 42.45.230(5):** I am not an attorney licensed to practice law in this state. I am not allowed to draft legal records, give advice on legal matters, including immigration, or charge a fee for those activities.
