Multiple documents, or not sure what you need? A real person reviews your upload within 24 hours. No account, no credit card.
Choose the speed that fits your deadline. Clear pricing up front — and a full service-fee refund guarantee for incomplete services. Government fees and other third-party costs are excluded.
Issued by a U.S. federal agency? Only the U.S. Department of State can apostille it — no state office will do. Start with the four most common:
The most requested federal apostille. Electronic FBI PDFs accepted — email the file, mail nothing. State-level apostilles aren't recommended for FBI reports.
Naturalization and immigration records, Certificates of Arrival and Certificates of Non-Existence.
Certificates of Naturalization and other USCIS-issued immigration documents headed abroad.
Benefit verification letters, proof-of-income letters and other SSA documents.
Anything issued by a U.S. federal agency routes through the U.S. Department of State. If the destination country is outside the Hague Convention, embassy legalization follows — we handle both. Common examples:
FBI Identity History Summary
ATF documents
DEA registrations
Federal court documents
Certificate of Naturalization
NARA naturalization records
Certificate of Non-Existence
Certificate of Arrival
IRS letters (e.g. Form 6166)
FDA Certificates to Foreign Gov.
USDA export & health certificates
SSA benefit & income letters
USPTO patent documents
USPTO trademark documents
Federal corporate filings
Docs signed before a federal officer
Don't see your document? Upload it for a free pre-check — eligibility confirmed within 24 hours.
Form first — so nothing gets shipped, paid for, or rejected on a guess.
We confirm your document is eligible before you ship — no guesswork, no rejected packages.
The destination country decides the last step — we run both under one roof.
The Department of State apostille is the final step — no embassy involved. Your document is ready for use abroad the day it comes back.
After federal authentication, the document continues to embassy or consulate legalization — we manage the full chain in one order.
Not sure which applies? Name the destination country in the form or run a free pre-check — we confirm the correct route before anything ships.
The Department of State is our neighborhood — not a mailing address.

¡Este servicio es increíble! Ojalá lo hubiera conocido antes. Tenía un documento para usar en el extranjero que necesitaba ser notariado Y necesitaba una apostilla. No es tan difícil encontrar un notario, pero para cualquier cosa más complicada, Aziz puede hacerlo con un mínimo esfuerzo por parte del cliente. Recogió el documento, gestionó el proceso de legalización y me lo devolvió. ¡Y en menos de 24 horas! El consulado, que era mi única otra opción, tenía un tiempo de espera ridículo incluso para conseguir una cita, sin mencionar que me iban a cobrar tres veces lo que Aziz hizo. ¡Sus tarifas son razonables y es súper profesional y eficiente! Me ahorró muchísimo tiempo y gestionó todo el proceso sin problemas para mí. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volveré a recurrir a él en el futuro.
DC Mobile Notary fue fantástico. Súper fácil de programar y súper flexible. También encontré los mejores precios. Danyar fue rápido, eficiente y súper amable. ¡Los usaría de nuevo sin dudarlo!
Esta empresa me impresionó de principio a fin, y sin duda volveré a recurrir a ellos cuando necesite un notario.Primero, fue súper fácil programar las tres citas que necesitaba; la recepcionista pudo confirmarlas mientras hablaba con ella por teléfono. Segundo, el notario llegó puntual a todas las citas, incluso en una ubicación céntrica durante la hora punta y donde encontrar aparcamiento en la calle era un desafío. Incluso cuando necesité cambiar la ubicación de una cita en el último minuto (de un Starbucks que aún no abría a un restaurante cercano), fue fácil contactar al propio notario y coordinar el cambio con él. Tercero, los dos notarios con los que traté fueron profesionales tanto en su apariencia como en su trato. Finalmente, la empresa puede cubrir DC, MD y VA, donde hago negocios, y su precio es razonable.Estoy muy agradecida de que el papeleo se haya realizado sin problemas y correctamente. Soy una nueva fan de DC Mobile Notary.
Aziz de DC MOBILE Notary fue increíblemente paciente, conocedor, amable y fiable con respecto a los servicios que necesitábamos para autenticar documentos educativos para uso en el extranjero. No dudaré en utilizar sus servicios de nuevo. En el mundo actual, donde todo está automatizado y hay bots de voz, Aziz fue un soplo de aire fresco, responde llamadas y correos electrónicos sin demoras y trabaja para encontrar soluciones para sus clientes. Gracias, Aziz.

About DC Mobile NotaryA federal apostille is authentication issued by the U.S. Department of State that certifies a U.S. federal document as genuine for use in Hague Convention countries. Documents from federal agencies — the FBI, NARA, USCIS, SSA, IRS, FDA, USDA, USPTO and others — can only be apostilled at the federal level, not by a state office.
Our Expedited service is completed in 7–10 business days and is the recommended option for most clients. Standard service takes about 3 weeks. We submit to the Department of State Monday through Thursday, 7:30–9:00 AM; orders received after the Thursday window are reviewed and scheduled for the next submission cycle. Final timelines are confirmed after our free document review.
We recommend Expedited (7–10 business days) for nearly everyone — especially anyone with a deadline, a visa timeline, or a filing date. Standard (3 weeks) is a lower-cost option when your timeline is flexible. Both use the same U.S. Department of State authentication.
Start by filling out the form so we can confirm your document is eligible. Then mail your documents to our Arlington office: DC Mobile Notary™, 5315 Langston Blvd, Suite B, Arlington, VA 22207. We recommend a trackable method like UPS or FedEx. We handle the federal authentication and return your apostilled documents to you.
FBI Identity History Summaries, NARA records (naturalization, immigration, Certificates of Arrival and Non-Existence), USCIS documents such as Certificates of Naturalization, SSA letters, IRS letters including Form 6166, FDA Certificates to Foreign Government, USDA export and health certificates, and USPTO patent and trademark documents. If your document isn't listed, upload it for a free pre-check and we'll confirm eligibility.
We don't recommend it. FBI reports are federal documents and are most reliably authenticated through the U.S. Department of State. See our dedicated FBI background check apostille page for the full process.
The issuing authority determines where a document is apostilled. Documents issued by a state (birth certificates, state marriage records, notarized documents) are apostilled by that state. Documents issued by a federal agency are apostilled only by the U.S. Department of State. Sending a federal document to a state office — or the reverse — causes rejections and delays, which our free pre-check helps you avoid.
Yes. Birth certificates, marriage records, diplomas and notarized documents are apostilled at the state level — a separate process we run every day alongside the federal one. See our apostille services hub, or run a free pre-check and we'll route your document correctly.
Yes. We provide federal apostille service nationwide. No matter where your document was issued or where you live, the federal authentication happens at the U.S. Department of State in Washington — and that's where we submit in person, Monday through Thursday.
For most federal documents, yes — the U.S. Department of State authenticates the original document or one bearing the issuing agency's official signature and seal. One key exception is the electronic FBI report (see below). Run a free pre-check and we'll confirm exactly what your document needs.
Yes. The electronic FBI Identity History Summary PDF is accepted for federal apostille — you can simply email us the PDF, with no need to mail anything. This is one of our most requested services; see the FBI background check apostille page for details.
Yes. If your document is going to a Hague Apostille Convention country, the U.S. Department of State apostille is the final step. If the destination is outside the Hague Convention — such as the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, or Thailand — your document also needs embassy or consulate legalization after federal authentication. Tell us the destination country and we'll confirm the correct process.
Yes. We ship completed apostilles to any address in the United States or worldwide by trackable courier. Just include the destination address in your order.
Yes. Note «Add Certified Translation» in your form message and we'll review your document and send a quote.
Start the form — we review free within 24 hours and reply with exact next steps.
