Tutto quanto segue è trascritto dalle fonti pubblicate proprie di questo ufficio e riportato con le sue stesse parole. Un valore che non siamo riusciti a confermare su una pagina ufficiale reca il contrassegno "non verificato" — ma l'assenza di questo contrassegno non garantisce che un fatto sia stato verificato, e i dubbi espressi dalla fonte stessa restano nelle note qui riportate testualmente. Verificare tariffe, indirizzi e scadenze con l'ufficio prima di inviare documenti o denaro.

- **Guida alle apostille:** District of Columbia, Stati Uniti
- **Verificato il** August 9, 2026

## Chi rilascia l'apostilla

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

## Quali documenti accetta questo ufficio

- **Secondo la fonte:** 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

## Certificazioni eventualmente necessarie in anticipo

Prima dell'apostilla non è richiesto alcun passaggio di certificazione aggiuntivo.

## Il modulo di richiesta

Un modulo di richiesta PDF. Dove ottenerlo: https://os.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/os/page_content/attachments/Mail-In%20Request%20for%20Authentications_Updated.pdf

## Richiesta online

Non esiste una modalità di richiesta online — questo ufficio elabora le richieste solo su carta. 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

## Dove recarsi di persona

- **Washington** — ONCA, 899 North Capitol Street, NE, Suite 8100, Washington, DC 20002 Aperto senza appuntamento. Orari: Walk-in hours 9:00 AM–1:00 PM Mon–Fri (except holidays) Servizio in giornata: Disponibile. No appointment needed, first come first served; same-day processing

## Quanto costa

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

## Come pagare

- **Per posta:** assegno o vaglia postale
- **Di persona:** assegno, vaglia postale, o pagamento con carta
- **Intestare a:** DC Treasurer — Copiare esattamente come scritto.
- Il pagamento deve essere tratto su una banca statunitense.
- 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"

## Dove inviare i documenti

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

## Quanto tempo richiede

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

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- Per questo ufficio non è pubblicato alcun registro pubblico di verifica. Questo non equivale a dire che un'apostilla non sia verificabile — chiedere all'ufficio come la conferma.

## Notarizzazione online a distanza

- Qui la notarizzazione online a distanza è consentita.
- **Base giuridica:** 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)
- **Cosa deve registrare il notaio:** 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)
- **Come viene identificato il firmatario:** 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
- **Atto notarile standard:** $5.00 USD
- Qui non è registrata alcuna tariffa massima per un atto a distanza. L'assenza di un limite non equivale a «nessun limite» — il motivo è indicato nelle note sottostanti.
- **Secondo la fonte:** 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
