Federal Apostille in Denver, CO
Federal document authentication for Denver, Boulder and the Front Range — processed through the U.S. Department of State. Order online or by mail; all government fees included.
Quick answer
Federal documents from Denver are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — there is no apostille counter in Denver itself, because only one office in the country issues a federal apostille. We handle that submission for you: order online or by phone, mail your document to us, and we return it apostilled and ready to use abroad. Our Denver office is a processing office — it isn’t open to walk-ins or appointments. For in-person FBI background checks or document drop-off, book at our West Palm Beach or Miami office.

Denver’s aerospace, energy and outdoor-industry employers — and a growing number of residents relocating abroad — generate steady demand for federally authenticated documents: FBI checks for overseas jobs and long-stay visas, IRS records for tax residency, and federal court records. Federal apostilles process in Washington, D.C.; here is the route for Denver.
Federal documents from Denver authenticate in Washington — not locally
An apostille certifies that the seal and signature on a document are genuine. For a federal document — one issued by a federal agency or federal court — the only office in the country that can do that is the U.S. Department of State, Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. A state Secretary of State cannot authenticate it, and there is no local federal-apostille counter anywhere, Denver included.
That is why Denver residents route federal documents through us: Denver sits in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado — home to the Alfred A. Arraj U.S. Courthouse — so many local federal records originate here, but the apostille that makes them usable abroad still happens in D.C. We bridge that gap.
