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