Washington

Washington State apostilles issue from the Secretary of State’s Apostille and Document Certification program, processed at the Dolliver Building, 801 Capitol Way South, in Olympia. Notarized documents go direct; certified vital records come from the WA Department of Health, which has issued birth and death records at the state level since 1907 (marriage and divorce since 1968).

State fee: $15. Full-service timing: one to three weeks depending on the state (call us and we’ll tell you where yours currently stands). Pricing: rates page.

Tech credentials dominate: Seattle-based engineers with degrees and employment verifications headed to visas worldwide. Aerospace export documents come second, often needing the federal or embassy chain stacked on top, which we quote as one job. Not to be confused with Washington DC below, and yes, documents show up addressed to the wrong one monthly. /order/ or (212) 245-9690.
