Why living in South Carolina doesn’t change the route

This document is issued by Internal Revenue Service, a federal authority. Federal documents are authenticated only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — the South Carolina Secretary of State in Columbia has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.

So the process for South Carolina 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.

Charleston: the local details

About the IRS Tax Transcript

How to apostille an IRS tax return transcript for foreign visa, mortgage and income-verification purposes.

A tax-software printout won't work. Foreign lenders want the IRS's own transcript, not a copy of your filed return or an accountant's printout. Transcripts are free from the IRS and often available immediately online.
