- **核实日期：** August 9, 2026

## 由谁签发附加证明书

U.S. Department of State — Office of Authentications

Issues apostilles (Hague countries) and authentication certificates (non-Hague countries) for documents issued by the U.S. federal government. State-issued documents (birth certificates, state notarizations, etc.) go to the state competent authority, NOT the federal office. The $8.00 fee figure still shown on the HCCH authorities page is OUTDATED — the current fee is $20 per document. Fax on HCCH listing: +1 (202) 663-3636

## 该机关接受哪些文件

- **electronically/digitally signed federal documents (e.g., the digitally signed FBI eDO PDF):** no explicit policy published — travel.state.gov requires that "seals and signatures are originals" on an "original or certified copy" (unverified whether a printed digitally-signed FBI Identity History Summary is accepted; practitioners commonly submit the printed FBI PDF, but no official statement located on travel.state.gov) (未经核实)
- **来源原文:** 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)

## 可能需要先行办理的认证

申请附加证明书前，无需额外的认证步骤。

## 申请表

PDF申请表。 表格编号: DS-4194 获取方式: https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds4194.PDF Form DS-4194, "Request for Authentications Service" — "Be sure to list the country in which you will use the document" (the destination country is required on the form)

## 在线申请

没有在线申请渠道——该机关仅接受纸质申请。 No online submission or tracking portal; status checks via the Contact Us web form or phone

## 现场办理地点

- **Washington, D.C.** — 600 19th Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20006 接受无需预约到访办理。 无需预约。 办公时间: "7:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, except for federal holidays" 截止办理时间: Walk-in drop-off/pickup: NO appointment needed, but only "Mondays through Thursdays between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m." Same-day service exists ONLY via emergency (life-or-death) appointment, Mon–Thu 10:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. (email authcert@state.gov)

## 费用

- **$20.00 USD** 每份文件 — "$20 per document" — a "$20 nonrefundable fee for each document." (The $8.00 figure still shown on the HCCH authorities page is OUTDATED.)

## 如何付款

- **邮寄:** 支票或汇票
- **现场办理:** 银行卡付款
- **付款抬头（收款人）:** U.S. Department of State — 请按原文一字不差地抄写。

In person: "credit card, debit card, or a contactless form of payment such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay. We do not accept cash, check, or money order."

## 文件邮寄地址

- 该地址为邮政信箱——商业快递公司（FedEx / UPS / DHL）无法投递至邮政信箱。如需改用快递寄送，请先向该机关确认街道地址。

## 办理时长

- **邮寄办理:** Mail: "within five weeks from the date we receive it" (page banner: "5+ Weeks")
- **现场办理:** In-person walk-in drop-off: "seven business days" (banner: "2-3 Weeks") — documents are NOT processed while you wait (pick up ~7 business days later)
- **加急办理:** Emergency appointment: processed "same day as your appointment" (banner: "Under 2 Weeks") — life-or-death emergencies only: email authcert@state.gov with "Proof of international travel within two weeks" and "Proof that an immediate family member has died, is dying, or has a life-threatening illness or injury"

## Checking status and verifying an apostille

- 该机关未公布可供公众查询的核验登记系统。这并不代表附加证明书无法核验——请向该机关询问其核验方式。
- **查询申请状态:** https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/contact-us/authentications.html — No online tracking portal. Status checks via the Contact Us web form ("We will respond to you within 7 days" / "via email or phone call in the next week") or phone 202-485-8000, hours "9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday"

## 远程在线公证

该机关签发附加证明书，但不委任公证员，因此在此层级不存在远程公证相关规则。相关规则属于该公证员所在的州或省。

## 来源中的其他信息

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
