Federal Apostille Services in Alaska
How Alaska residents get federal documents apostilled — and how that differs from Alaska state documents handled by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
Quick answer
There’s no federal apostille counter in Alaska — or anywhere outside Washington, D.C. Federal documents from Alaska residents are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State. Alaska state documents go to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Juneau.
