Notarized in Oregon: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Oregon, the apostille is issued by the Oregon Secretary of State in Salem.
- Hague Convention destination: the Oregon apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Oregon-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Oregon Secretary of State directly. Once your document has its Oregon authentication, we handle the U.S. Department of State and embassy steps for non-Hague destinations ($399).
Get the notarial wording right before signing — requirements vary by destination, and a mistake means redoing the whole chain.
