Why living in New York doesn’t change the route

This document is issued by Office of Personnel Management, a federal authority. Federal documents are authenticated only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — the New York Department of State in Albany has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.

So the process for New York 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.

About the Federal Employment Records

A personal copy usually isn't enough. Records need a certification from the agency or records centre. If you're proving pension income rather than service history, the OPM annuity letter is the document consulates actually want.
