A Counter Near the Courts and the Convention Center

The blocks around Massachusetts Avenue draw a particular kind of paperwork. Litigation support staff bring certified court copies. Trade associations and delegations working out of the Convention Center need corporate records recognized overseas on short notice. Residents of Mount Vernon Triangle, NoMa and Shaw come in with an FBI report and a consular appointment already on the calendar.

FederalApostille.org is a private document processing service, not a government office. What we bring to it is a decade of federal authentication filings and a single price for all of them — $120, with the government fee already inside that number.

Location Advantage

What This Address Is Actually Good For

Three things a Washington office does that a remote filing service, wherever it is based, cannot.

Documents are delivered, not posted The trip to the Authentications Office is made on foot by someone on our team, which takes the postal system out of the schedule on both legs.
No public appointment to chase Walk-in slots at the State Department are scarce and book out well in advance. Our filings do not depend on getting one.
Court-record experience close to the source Certified copies are the easiest documents to get wrong — wrong seal, wrong clerk, wrong date. Being near Judiciary Square means we see a lot of them and know what the State Department will accept.
Practical for delegations and short visits For people in town for a conference or a hearing, a document can be dropped off in person and returned by courier to an address anywhere in the world.

Questions & Answers

600 Massachusetts Avenue NW Office — Common Questions

Where is the Massachusetts Avenue office?

600 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Suite 250, Washington, DC 20001 — on the edge of Mount Vernon Triangle and Penn Quarter, between Gallery Place–Chinatown and Mount Vernon Square, and a short walk from Judiciary Square. Intake is on the second floor.

What is a federal apostille?

A certificate issued by the U.S. Department of State that allows a U.S. federal document to be accepted in a country belonging to the Hague Apostille Convention. It is issued only in Washington, and only for federal records — a notary or a state office cannot produce one.

What is the price?

$120 per document, flat. The government fee is included, as is intake review, preparation, hand-delivery and tracked return shipping. Nothing is added later.

How fast is it?

Ten business days, intake to return. Hand-delivery removes the transit and inbound handling time a mailed submission spends before the agency has even logged it.

I'm in DC for a few days — can I use this office?

Yes. Drop the documents off at Suite 250 and the finished originals will be couriered to whatever address you give us, in the U.S. or abroad. You do not need to still be in the city when the apostille is issued.

Can you apostille a certified court copy?

Federal court records, yes — U.S. District Court judgments, decrees and clerk certifications go through the State Department like any other federal document. State court records take a different route: they are apostilled by the Secretary of State of the state where the court sits, and we can file those for you as well.

My document was issued outside Washington. Does that matter?

Not for federal documents. An FBI report, naturalization certificate or federal court order is apostilled in Washington no matter which state it came from, so submissions arrive here from all over the country. What matters is that the document is federal and in the form the Authentications Office accepts — which is what the intake review checks.
