Lake Oswego Apostille Services in Oregon

Apostille Request Form

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

Where to Get an Apostille in Lake Oswego

Our Lake Oswego office on Centerpointe Drive is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and our mobile service runs 24/7 if you need us to come to you. Call (971) 394-4152 to book a drop-off time. It is our closest drop-off point for Tigard, Tualatin, West Linn, Wilsonville, Oregon City and Milwaukie.

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.

Oregon documents are apostilled by the Secretary of State in Salem. Our Oregon apostille service page covers the state fee, the steps and what gets documents rejected.

You cannot get an apostille issued in Lake Oswego itself. Oregon issues them only at the Secretary of State in Salem, so Clackamas County residents either make the trip, mail the document and wait, or leave it with us.

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 Lake Oswego and the rest of Clackamas County from our Lake Oswego office.

What It Costs

  • Oregon apostille: $195 for the first document and $20 for each additional document. The price includes the $10 Oregon state fee.
  • FBI background check apostille: $195 regular or $390 expedited.
  • Documents from other states: $195 for most states. New York is $350 for the first document and $65 for each additional one.
  • Certified translation: $65 per document, done in house.

The $195 covers the $10 state fee and courier hand-delivery to the Secretary of State in Salem and back, so there is nothing to mail and nothing extra to pay the state.

  • Documents from other states: 10 business days, depending on state delays.
  • FBI background checks: 5+ weeks regular, or 10 business days expedited. Our courier hand-delivers them to the US Department of State in Washington, DC.

Academic documents

There is no hospital in Lake Oswego, so local birth certificates usually come from the county where the child was born, often Multnomah County for births at OHSU or Legacy Emanuel, or Clackamas County for births at Providence Milwaukie or Legacy Meridian Park. After about six months, all of them come from the Oregon Center for Health Statistics. Bring the certified copy and we will check it before filing.

How to Get an Apostille in Lake Oswego

  • Get the right version of your document: a certified copy for a birth, marriage or divorce certificate, or a notarized original for other documents.
  • Bring it to our Lake Oswego office at 5 Centerpointe Dr, Suite 400, Lake Oswego, or mail it to us. If you cannot come in, ask about mobile pickup.
  • Tell us the destination country, so we can confirm whether you need an apostille or embassy legalization.
  • Our courier hand-delivers your document to the Oregon Secretary of State in Salem, or to the US Department of State for federal documents.
  • Pick up your apostilled document at the office, or have it shipped back to you with tracking.

Not sure which version of your document you need? Call (971) 394-4152 before you order a copy. Checking first avoids the most common reason documents are rejected, which is sending the wrong type of copy.

Lake Oswego Records and Clients

Lake Oswego sits on three county lines. Most of the city is in Clackamas County, with smaller parts in Multnomah and Washington counties, and the county that matters is the one where the marriage license was issued or the court case was filed.

Clackamas County records

Clackamas County marriage records come from the County Clerk’s Recording office in Oregon City, and divorce and adoption judgments from the Clackamas County Circuit Court there.

Multnomah County records

For north Lake Oswego and Portland events, marriage records come from Multnomah County Recording on SE Hawthorne in Portland and court records from the Multnomah County Circuit Court.

Who uses our Lake Oswego office

Bring a whole file and we will go through it with you in one visit.
