Why living in Michigan 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 Michigan Department of State, Office of the Great Seal in Lansing has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.

So the process for Michigan 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.

Detroit: the local details

Detroit is in Wayne County, within the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Michigan state documents are apostilled by the Michigan Department of State, Office of the Great Seal in Lansing.

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.
