Beaverton Apostille Service in Oregon
Apostille Request Form
Beaverton’s apostille requests are shaped by its employers. Global sportswear, technology and healthcare companies around the Sunset Corridor move people in and out of the country all the time, and every international transfer seems to need something: an apostilled degree for a work permit in Germany, a marriage certificate so a spouse can get a dependent visa in the Netherlands, or a board resolution for a new subsidiary in Asia.
Our Hillsboro office is about 15 minutes west on US-26, so Beaverton clients can drop documents off in person, often on the way to work. We check the document while you wait, then file it with the Oregon Secretary of State. For HR teams handling several employees at once, we batch the requests and send each person’s documents straight to them or to the relocation provider.
Who Issues Apostilles for Beaverton Documents?
The Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division, apostilles every Oregon public document and Oregon notarization, at $10 each. Documents from other states go to that state’s Secretary of State, and federal documents such as FBI checks go to the U.S. Department of State. Relocating employees often have a mix of all three; we handle each one with the right authority.
