Sherwood 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 Sherwood. 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 Sherwood

There is no state apostille office in Sherwood. Every Oregon apostille is issued by the Secretary of State in Salem, so the usual choices are to drive there, mail your document and wait, or hand it to 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 Sherwood and the rest of Washington County from our Lake Oswego office.

Academic documents

Birth certificates are the document we apostille most often. The state only accepts a certified copy issued by the Oregon Center for Health Statistics or by the county where the birth was recorded. Photocopies and hospital souvenir certificates are not accepted.

Marriage and divorce certificates also need to be certified copies. Powers of attorney, single status certificates, diplomas and transcripts must be notarized first, which we can arrange. FBI background checks are federal documents, so Oregon cannot apostille them; our courier hand-delivers them to the US Department of State. If the destination country requires a translation, we provide certified document translation in house, so your apostille and your translation are handled in one place.
