What is a Federal Apostille Service?

A federal apostille service is the process of certifying official documents for use in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This ensures that documents issued in the United States are recognized abroad without further legalization. Unlike state apostille services, which handle documents at the state level, federal apostille services are required for documents issued by federal agencies or notarized by the U.S. Department of State.

Documents that typically require a federal apostille include:

FBI Background Checks
U.S. Passports
Social Security Letters
Naturalization Certificates
Patent and Trademark Documents
Federal Court Documents
Corporate Records filed with U.S. agencies

Our team ensures your documents are properly authenticated, meeting all federal and international legal requirements.

Our Federal Apostille Services

VIP Notary Services specializes in a full range of services, ensuring that your documents are processed quickly and correctly. We provide:

Apostille for Federal Documents

If your document was issued by a federal agency such as the FBI, IRS, or USPTO, it must go through the U.S. Department of State for authentication. We handle the entire process for you, ensuring that your documents receive the correct apostille certification.

Embassy Legalization & Authentication

For countries that are not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, embassy legalization is required instead of an apostille. Our experts coordinate with the relevant embassies and consulates to ensure seamless processing.

Expedited Apostille Services

Need urgent authentication? Our expedited service accelerates the processing time, ensuring you receive your apostilled documents as quickly as possible.

Business & Corporate Apostille

If your business operates internationally, you may need an apostille for corporate documents such as bylaws, articles of incorporation, or financial statements. We specialize in ensuring your business documents meet international requirements.

Personal Document Apostille

We assist individuals in obtaining apostilles for personal documents, including marriage certificates, birth certificates, academic records, and powers of attorney.

Wonderful service! I had to come to CA from Pennsylvania because my brother was very sick and in the hospital. I needed to have POA paperwork signed. They were able to do it very quickly and for an extremely reasonable price! Brigitte came to his hospital room. She was very sweet and personable. Thank you so much! 100% recommend!

Highly recommended!!! Vadim’s service was incredible. I needed an urgent apostille completed out of state in Nevada, and Vadim was able to handle everything from A-Z within 48 hours. I was surprised by how fast and efficiently he completed everything. On top of that, he was extremely flexible and pleasant to work with. I will be using him as my permanent notary moving forward and encourage you all to do the same!!

If you’re looking for a mobile notary this is your place. I needed to schedule a fairly urgent document to be notarized and Vadim was on it. He answered the phone immediately when I called and scheduled me on the date that I requested. I wasn’t going to be present and he assured me there would be no issues. Everything was so seamless. He followed up with me immediately.Everything was so easy. I’m so glad he was the first place I tried. I would recommend him to anybody

Still have any questions? Contact us.

How long does the federal apostille process take?

The processing time for a Federal Apostille Service depends on the type of document and government processing times. Standard requests may take 4-8 weeks, while expedited services can be completed within a few business days.

What is the difference between a federal and state apostille?

A state apostille is issued by the Secretary of State for documents like birth certificates and marriage licenses. A federal apostille is required for documents issued by U.S. federal agencies, such as FBI background checks or USPTO filings.

Can I get an apostille for a document notarized in another state?

Yes, but the apostille must be obtained from the same state that notarized the document. However, if a federal document needs authentication, it must go through the U.S. Department of State.

Do all countries accept apostilles?

No, only countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles. If your destination country is not part of the convention, embassy legalization will be required instead.
