Passport Apostille
Foreign visa applications, dual citizenship proof, foreign bank accounts — most countries require an apostilled COPY of your U.S. passport.
🛂 Important: The COPY Gets Apostilled, Not the Original
You don’t mail your actual passport to D.C. — you’d be without it for weeks. Instead, a notary makes a certified copy of the passport (with a notarial certificate attached), and that copy is what gets apostilled. We notarize the copy in-store, mobile, or via Remote Online Notary.
How a Passport Apostille Works
