The Washington office, and how to find it

Every federal document passes through this office, along with DC-issued state documents. The State Department's Office of Authentications is a nine-minute walk away, which is why documents are walked in rather than posted.

Finding the door

1050 Connecticut Avenue NW is Washington Square, on the corner of Connecticut and L Street NW, with a Sephora at street level. Walk under the canopy, through the arcade — the floor mat says Washington Square — and take the lifts to the fifth floor. Reception is Suite 500; our door is Office 5113.

Metro

Farragut North (Red line) is 0.02 miles away — the entrance is on the same block of Connecticut Avenue. Farragut West (Blue, Orange, Silver) is 0.14 miles, about three minutes west along I Street.

Driving, parking and the airport

There is paid garage parking under and around Washington Square, and metered kerbside parking on the surrounding blocks of L and 18th. Reagan National (DCA) is 3.6 miles, and Union Station is 1.8 miles — both easier by Metro than by car at most hours.

Why this office exists

The U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications, at 600 19th Street NW, is 0.44 miles from this door. Federal apostilles can only be issued there. Being nine minutes away is what lets documents be walked in by hand instead of joining a postal queue.
