How to Apostille Your Documents
Not all documents follow the same path. To save you time and money, we have categorized the process based on the type of document you have:

If your document is issued by a federal agency (e.g., FBI, FDA, USDA, or Social Security), it has no connection to state offices. These must be processed through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
