US Department of State Apostille Services

May 31, 2021 by Admin

Do you need to apostille your documents through the US Department of State?  Have you been asked to complete form DS-4194?

The two most common questions asked are…

What is the current processing time through the U.S. Department of State in Washington DC?  How long is the processing time to apostille an FBI criminal background check?

As of this article (May 31,2021), the current estimated processing time is 6-8 weeks.  The processing time may change depending on the volume of work received at our Washington DC office and at the US Department of State’s office.  We anticipate the processing time to be gradually reduced during the next few months but we are not 100% certain.  We do not believe the in-person counter service will reopen this summer unless the US Department of State can reduce their mail-in processing time to two to three weeks.

The current estimated processing time can be found here: Apostille Processing Time.  As soon as the Counter service is reopened, will will update our processing time page to reflect the change.  In the meantime, all documents are processed by mail.  Completed files are retuned back by FedEx for added security.

In a phone conference on May 13, 2021 with the US Department of State, we were advised that the US Department of State has outsourced some of their work in order to catch up on the backlog.  Hopefully, we will see a noticeable difference soon.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our staff is available Monday-Saturday from 9am to 6pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow-step-by-step instructions.  Please call us at 1-800-850-3441.

USCIS Form G-24 Apostille

December 14, 2019 by Admin

Do you need to certify a copy of your documents through the local USCIS office?  Do you need to obtain an apostille on Form G-24 or on a certified copy of your Certificate of Naturalization?

USCIS Form G-24 is issued by the Department of Homeland Security – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.  If the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. has rejected your Certificate of Naturalization or you would like to send in a certified copy instead of the original to our Washington, D.C. apostille office, you will need to contact the local USCIS office to certify a copy of your document.

When a naturalized US citizen needs to have a Certificate of Naturalization “authenticated” by the U.S. State Department for use in a foreign country, the local USCIS can copy the document and certify it as a true copy. “Authentication” is a term used by the U.S. Department of State and other Governments to describe what USCIS refers to as Certified True Copies. When you require a Certificate of Naturalization to be authenticated, be sure to use the term “Certified True Copy.”

If you have the original document to be certified, you must make an appointment with your local USCIS office by using the InfoPass Appointment Scheduler. When you go to your appointment, be sure to bring your original naturalization certificate and a copy of it. Also bring another form of photo identification, such as a drivers license or passport. A USCIS officer will review the documents and may certify the copy, if the officer can confirm your identity and status as a naturalized citizen.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will provide Certified True Copies and return these along with the supplied documentation to the requester. USCIS cannot act as an agent of the U.S. Department of State by accepting fees on behalf of other government agencies, or forwarding documentation to any other government agency. All documentation coming from a requester, along with any documentation supplied by the Department of Homeland Security, will be returned to the requester.

Here is an example of a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form G-24 Certification of Documents from the Department of Homeland Security.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our staff is available Monday-Saturday from 9am to 6pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow-step-by-step instructions.  Please call us at 1-800-850-3441.
