Why living in Kansas doesn’t change the route
This document is issued by U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a federal authority. Federal documents are authenticated only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — the Kansas Secretary of State in Topeka has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.
So the process for Kansas 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.

What the Kansas Secretary of State can do

It has no authority over federal documents such as FBI reports, USCIS certificates or IRS letters.
State offices set their own procedures and fees, so confirm current requirements with the office before submitting a state document.
