A federal apostille is a certificate issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. that authenticates U.S. federal documents for use in Hague Convention member countries. If you’re a New York City resident needing to use a U.S. federal document abroad — such as an FBI background check, naturalization certificate, or federal court order — you need a federal apostille. New York state documents like birth certificates require a New York state apostille instead.
Federal apostille processing is $120 flat rate, all government fees included. No hidden charges. This covers document intake review, preparation, hand-delivery to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and secure tracked return to your New York address.

FederalApostille.org specializes exclusively in federal apostilles.
