> Vodič za apostille za District of Columbia, Sjedinjene Američke Države: nadležno tijelo je Office of the Secretary of the District of Columbia — Office of Notary Commissions and Authentications (ONCA). Provjereno 2026-08-09.

Sve što slijedi prepisano je iz vlastitih objavljenih izvora ovog ureda i navedeno njegovim vlastitim riječima. Vrijednost koju nismo mogli potvrditi na službenoj stranici nosi oznaku "nepotvrđeno" — no odsutnost te oznake nije jamstvo da je činjenica provjerena, a vlastite sumnje izvora ostaju u bilješkama koje su ovdje doslovno prenesene. Prije slanja dokumenata ili novca potvrdite naknade, adrese i rokove izravno u uredu.

- **Vodič za apostille:** District of Columbia, Sjedinjene Američke Države
- **Provjereno na dan** August 9, 2026

## Tko izdaje apostille

Office of the Secretary of the District of Columbia — Office of Notary Commissions and Authentications (ONCA)

## Koje dokumente ovaj ured prihvaća

- **Iz izvora:** Only documents notarized by a DC notary public OR certified/signed by a DC government agency Department Head (e.g., DC birth certificates, DC Public School diplomas, MPD FL-20 police clearances); court documents only if issued by DC Superior Court (marriage certificates, divorce decrees, etc.); most federal documents (FBI results, passports) not accepted — US Dept. of State handles those

## Ovjere koje vam možda prvo trebaju

Prije postupka apostille nije potreban nikakav dodatni korak ovjere.

## Obrazac zahtjeva

Obrazac zahtjeva u PDF formatu. Gdje ga nabaviti: https://os.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/os/page_content/attachments/Mail-In%20Request%20for%20Authentications_Updated.pdf

## Podnošenje zahtjeva online

Ne postoji mogućnost online podnošenja — ovaj ured prima zahtjeve samo u papirnatom obliku. No true portal — ONCA "Mail In Services Request Notification Form" (Microsoft Forms) is a notification step only; nap.os.dc.gov portal covers notary commissions

## Kamo otići osobno

- **Washington** — ONCA, 899 North Capitol Street, NE, Suite 8100, Washington, DC 20002 Prima bez najave. Radno vrijeme: Walk-in hours 9:00 AM–1:00 PM Mon–Fri (except holidays) Usluga istog dana: Dostupno. No appointment needed, first come first served; same-day processing

## Koliko to košta

- **$15.00 USD** po dokumentu — "$15 per document" (apostilles, Department Head Certificates, Foreign Certificates)

## Kako platiti

- **Poštom:** ček ili novčana uputnica
- **Osobno:** ček, novčana uputnica, ili plaćanje karticom
- **Ispostavite na ime:** DC Treasurer — Prepišite točno onako kako je napisano.
- Uplata mora biti izdana od strane banke u SAD-u.
- Walk-in: checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express (credit card in person); mail: "only checks or money orders" from a US financial institution in US dollars, payable to "DC Treasurer"

## Kamo poslati dokumente

- **Poštanska adresa:** DC Office of Notary Commissions and Authentications (ONCA), 899 North Capitol Street, NE, Suite 8100, Washington, DC 20002
- **Iz izvora:** Authentications page also prints "NW" in one instance; NE is the address used everywhere else

## Koliko dugo traje

- **Poštom:** Mail: FAQ says "2-3 business days," Authentications page says returned to mail "in five (5) business days from receipt of completed requests"
- **Osobno:** Walk-in: same day, "usually takes about 5-10 minutes"
- No paid expedite option stated

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- Za ovaj ured nije objavljen javni registar za provjeru. To ne znači da se apostille ne može provjeriti — raspitajte se u uredu kako to potvrđuje.

## Udaljena internetska javnobilježnička ovjera

- Udaljena internetska javnobilježnička ovjera ovdje je dopuštena.
- **Pravna osnova:** D.C. Code § 1-1231.13a (RULONA, D.C. Law 22-189), remote provisions added/amended by D.C. Law 24-178 (eff. Sept. 21, 2022) and D.C. Law 24-194 (eff. Dec. 13, 2022); implementing rules 17 DCMR 2416–2417 (per NNA, adopted Nov. 3 — year not confirmed on an official page) (unverified)
- **Što mora registrirati osoba ovlaštena za ovjeru:** No separate RON endorsement, but before the first remote act the notary must notify the Mayor and identify the technologies to be used (D.C. Code § 1-1231.13a(k); 17 DCMR 2416.1). Separate electronic-notary endorsement: $30 application fee + mandatory training (per NNA/E-Notary Handbook)
- **Kako se utvrđuje identitet potpisnika:** Personal knowledge (§ 1-1231.06(a)); or credible witness on oath/affirmation; or at least 2 different types of identity proofing (§ 1-1231.13a(b)(1)). Per 17 DCMR 2417 (via NNA): credential analysis (automated authenticity testing + visual comparison) and dynamic KBA (min. 5 questions, 80% pass, 5-minute window). Biometric not specified
- **Standardna javnobilježnička radnja:** $5.00 USD
- Za udaljena radnja ovdje nije zabilježena najviša naknada. Nedostatak gornje granice nije isto što i „nema granice” — razlog je u bilješkama u nastavku.
- **Iz izvora:** Max RON fee: no statutory cap found; E-Notary Handbook: e-notaries "may charge a reasonable fee based on the electronic technology... if that fee is agreed to in advance... and itemized separately" (unverified whether a numeric RON cap exists in rules). "Notaries may charge up to $5 per notarial act" (ONCA FAQ). Conflict: DC E-Notary Handbook (July 2023) states "E-Notaries cannot notarize documents remotely in Washington, DC. At present, all parties are required to be present" — predates the remote-notarization rulemaking cited by NNA (17 DCMR 2416–2417); statute clearly authorizes remote acts

> **RCW 42.45.230(5):** Nisam odvjetnik ovlašten za obavljanje pravne djelatnosti u ovoj saveznoj državi. Nije mi dopušteno sastavljati pravne isprave, davati savjete o pravnim pitanjima, uključujući imigracijska, niti naplaćivati naknadu za te aktivnosti.
