Why Use Our Federal Document Authentication Service
Federal document authentication is required whenever a U.S. federal document needs to be recognized abroad — including FBI Background Checks, IRS documents, naturalization certificates, U.S. passport copies, USDA certificates, and more. Avoid lost mail, rejected applications, and weeks of silence. Professional handling from start to finish.
Skip the 4–6 Week Wait
Mailing your federal documents directly to the U.S. Department of State can take 4–6 weeks with no status updates. We personally submit your paperwork for a ~10 business day turnaround.
Reduce Risk of Rejection
Avoid lost documents, rejected applications, and costly delays. Our team reviews every submission to ensure it meets the Office of Authentications' requirements the first time.
No Application, No Confusion
For about $100 more than mailing yourself, we handle submission directly — so there are no forms to complete, no guesswork, and no waiting in the dark.
