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

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.
