We handle every federal apostille and FBI background check apostille from start to finish. That includes preparing the correct federal authentication form (DS-4194), hand-carrying your document to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC, tracking every step of the process, and getting the authenticated document back to you securely. We only work in the federal chain — no confusion between Maryland and federal steps.
1. Send your document for free review.
Submit a photo or scan and tell us the destination country. Within 2 business hours you'll get a plain answer on whether it needs a federal apostille, what it will cost, and how long it will take.
2. Approve the quote and send the original.
Mail us your document or drop it off. Federal originals only — we do not notarize federal documents (notarizing a federal document is a rejection).
3. We hand-deliver it in Washington, DC.
Your document goes into the U.S. Department of State in person, not mailed into a queue. Standard turnaround from $250. Rush available at $350.
4. You get it back, authenticated and ready.
We return your authenticated document by tracked mail or in-person pickup. Ready to send abroad.
This service is for anyone with a federal-issued document that needs to be used in another country. That includes people applying for jobs abroad, dual citizenship, marriages overseas, adoptions, visas, teaching licenses, and international business registrations. If your document was issued by an agency of the U.S. federal government — the FBI, IRS, USDA, FDA, a federal court, or the Department of Homeland Security — this is your chain, not the Maryland chain.
Common document types:
FBI Identity History Summary (background check)
IRS letters and certifications
Federal court documents
USDA and FDA certificates
Certificates of naturalization
Federal patents and trademarks
