Washington, D.C. Apostille Service

Need a document issued or notarized in Washington, D.C. authenticated for international use?

We can handle the service for you.

One important difference with D.C. is that a document connected to Washington, D.C. is not automatically a local D.C. document. Some documents are federal.

You do not have to determine which route applies.

Send us the document and we will review the issuing authority.
