US Department of State Apostille

December 14, 2024 by Admin

On October 2, 2024, the U.S. Department of State resumed walk-in  service at their offices in Washington DC but with several restrictions.  For one, they only allow documents to be submitted between 8am and 9am Monday through Thursday.  The original plan was to process documents in seven business days but that soon stretched to 12-15 business days (two to three weeks).  We believe the processing time may increase during the Holiday season.  Furthermore, the Department of State will only allow a set number of documents to be submitted daily.

Below is a current list of restrictions which may cause delays in processing your documents:

  • The Counter desk is open Monday – Thursday between the hours of 8am and 9am
  • There is a limit on how many documents that can be submitted per person/company.
  • The processing time is between is between 12-15 business days (two to three weeks).
  • Scheduled pick-up is not guaranteed and the processing time could be further delayed.

As of this date of this post, we are currently only able to offer the “Basic” and “Plus” service pricing.  The estimated processing time is 3-4 weeks for the “Basic” service and 2-3 weeks for the “Plus” service.  The processing times are estimated and may take longer especially during the Holiday season.

Also, documents mailed into our Washington, D.C. may take longer because of instability in receiving mail.  Thus, please allow an additional week for mailed-in documents.

Document issued from the U.S. Federal Government (Example: FBI background check, Social Security Income and Benefits Statement (SSA), Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, VA Pension, DD214, IRS, FDA, USDA, USPTO, etc…) are processed directly from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.

US Petition for Name Change Apostille

March 5, 2024 by Admin

Do you need to apostille your U.S. Petition for Name Change?

Did you change your name when you became a naturalized U.S. Citizen?  Do you need to apostille your Petition for Name Change in order to prove you are the same person as indicated on your birth certificate and/or foreign passport?  Do you also need to apostille your Certificate of Naturalization?

As of the date of this article, the best way to apostille your Petition for Name Change is to first visit the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office and have them certify the copy using form G-24.  Form G-24 and the certified copy must both be embossed (raised seal).

Here is an example of a Petition for Name Change issued by the U.S. District Court:

Once you have obtained the certified copy issued by the local USCIS office using form G-24, the next step is to mail in your certified documents to our Washington DC apostille office with our order forms.   Please contact our office for the most up-to-date processing time and availability.

USCIS Form G24 Apostille

April 4, 2023 by Admin

Do you need to apostille USCIS Form G24?  If your Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship is older than 20 years, we recommend that you certify the copy at the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office with form G-24.

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.

Cost: As low as $75 for each apostille.
