Hillsboro Apostille Services in Oregon

Apostille Request Form


Oregon issues apostilles in one place only: the Secretary of State office in Salem, about an hour from Hillsboro. Drop your document at our Hillsboro office and our courier hand-delivers it for you. $195, with next-day service available.

Where to Get an Apostille in Hillsboro

Our Hillsboro office on NE Tanasbourne Drive is the only one of our Oregon offices open on Saturday, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, so you can drop off documents outside the work week. It is our closest drop-off point for Beaverton, Aloha, Forest Grove, Cornelius, Bethany and Cedar Mill.

Same-day or next-day apostille service is available for Oregon documents at the same $195 service fee, depending on when we receive your documents. Standard service is about 10 business days.

For state fees, steps and timelines, see our full Oregon apostille service guide.

Hillsboro has no state apostille counter. The only one in Oregon is at the Secretary of State in Salem, about an hour away, so Washington County residents usually choose between the drive, the mail or a local service.

Documents sent by mail can be delayed or go missing in transit. We do not mail yours to the state: our courier carries it to the Secretary of State by hand and brings it back, so it stays in our hands the whole way. We serve Hillsboro and the rest of Washington County from our Hillsboro office.

Most Hillsboro births happen at Hillsboro Medical Center or Kaiser Permanente Westside Medical Center, so they are registered in Washington County. For about six months the county can issue the certified birth certificate; after that it comes from the Oregon Center for Health Statistics. A hospital keepsake certificate, with footprints and a seal, cannot be apostilled. Bring the state or county certified copy and we will check it at the counter.

Not sure which version of your document you need? Call (971) 514-3743 before you order a copy. Checking first avoids the most common reason documents are rejected, which is sending the wrong type of copy.

Washington County Records Next Door to Our Office

Hillsboro is the Washington County seat, so the offices that issue most west-side records are a short drive from our Tanasbourne office. That makes it easy to fix a document the same day.

Marriage records

The Assessment and Taxation Recording Division in the Public Services Building on N First Avenue issues certified copies of marriage records for licenses issued in Washington County. The copy must show the certifying official’s printed name.
