Apostille Service · Federal

U.S. Federal Government Document Apostille

Federal documents (FBI checks, IRS letters, federal court records, USCIS records, U.S. passport copies, FDA, USDA) go through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — not a state Secretary of State.

⚠️ DO NOT Notarize Federal Documents Before Submission

FBI background checks and other federal documents should not be notarized before being submitted for apostille. Notarizing first can invalidate the submission. If a notary already stamped your federal document, call us at 316-265-9930 before sending anything to D.C.
