Why living in Louisiana doesn’t change the route

This document is issued by Federal Communications Commission, a federal authority. Federal documents are authenticated only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — the Louisiana Secretary of State in Baton Rouge has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.

So the process for Louisiana residents is the same as for anyone else in the country: get the document to us, we hand-deliver it in Washington, and it comes back ready to use.

Baton Rouge: the local details
