How it works

  1. 1

    Pick an office and a time

    Only genuinely open slots are shown, in that office’s own local time.

  2. 2

    Confirm with a deposit

    A $25.00 refundable deposit holds the slot and comes off your service total.

  3. 3

    Come in and collect

    Bring your ID and original documents. We email a confirmation, a calendar invite and a reminder.

Choose your appointment

Walk-ins cannot be accepted, so every visit needs a booked time.

Where would you like to meet?

Come to one of our offices, or we can travel to you.

Cannot get to an office? We will come to you

Choose "We come to you" when you book and give us the address. It is $50.00 to travel, which covers the first 2 miles, then $8.00 a mile after that — quoted on screen before you confirm, and payable at the appointment. We travel up to 75 miles from our nearest office.

What to bring

Government photo ID

A driver’s license, passport or state ID. Required for any notarization.

Your original documents

Originals, not photocopies. Bring anything the destination country asked for.

A payment method

For any balance beyond the deposit. Card, debit or cash accepted in office.

Questions people ask

Is the deposit refundable?

Yes. The $25.00 deposit holds your slot and is refunded in full if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead. If you keep the appointment it comes off your service total.

Can I just walk in?

No. Every visit needs a booked time so a specialist is free when you arrive and your documents can be handled the same visit.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes, online. Your confirmation email carries a private link that lets you move to another time or cancel without phoning us.

Which time zone are the times in?

Each office shows its own local time, labeled on screen, so an Eastern office never displays Pacific times.

How long does an appointment take?

Most take about 30 minutes. Bring everything on the list above and one visit is usually enough.

Can you come to me instead?

Yes. Choose "We come to you" in step one and enter the address. The travel fee is $50.00, which covers the first 2 miles from our nearest office, then $8.00 a mile. You see the exact amount before you book, and we travel up to 75 miles.

What if I need something not listed?

Call (760) 469-2997 or email submissions@federalapostille.org. If your matter can be handled by mail or online, we will say so rather than have you travel.

Already have an appointment?

Changing your time is free and your deposit moves with you — there is no need to book again. Use the “Reschedule or cancel” link in your confirmation email, or have it sent again below.

Prefer to book by phone?

We are happy to take your appointment over the line and answer questions about what your documents need.
