Notarized in Washington: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Washington, the apostille is issued by the Washington Secretary of State in Olympia.
- Hague Convention destination: the Washington apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Washington-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Washington Secretary of State directly. Once your document has its Washington 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.
