Why living in California doesn’t change the route

This document is issued by various federal agencies, a federal authority. Federal documents are authenticated only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — the California Secretary of State in Sacramento has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.

So the process for California 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 Corporate Documents

How to apostille federally issued corporate documents — EIN letters (CP-575) and federal registrations — for foreign business.

The IRS won't reissue a CP-575. If your original EIN letter is lost, don't wait on a replacement that never comes — request a 147C letter instead. It confirms the same EIN and is normally accepted for the same purposes.
