Federal Apostille Services in Oregon
How Oregon residents get federal documents apostilled — and how that differs from Oregon state documents handled by the Oregon Secretary of State.
Quick answer
There’s no federal apostille counter in Oregon — or anywhere outside Washington, D.C. Federal documents from Oregon residents are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State. Oregon state documents go to the Oregon Secretary of State in Salem.
