Federal Apostille Services in Hawaii

How Hawaii residents get federal documents apostilled — and how that differs from Hawaii state documents handled by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.

Quick answer

There’s no federal apostille counter in Hawaii — or anywhere outside Washington, D.C. Federal documents from Hawaii residents are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State. Hawaii state documents go to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor in Honolulu.
