Why living in Missouri 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 Missouri Secretary of State in Jefferson City has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.

So the process for Missouri 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.

Kansas City: the local details

Kansas City is in Jackson County, within the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. Missouri state documents are apostilled by the Missouri Secretary of State in Jefferson City.
