Issued by a U.S. federal agency? Only the U.S. Department of State can apostille it — no state office will do. Start with the four most common:
The most requested federal apostille. Electronic FBI PDFs accepted — email the file, mail nothing. State-level apostilles aren't recommended for FBI reports.
Naturalization and immigration records, Certificates of Arrival and Certificates of Non-Existence.
Certificates of Naturalization and other USCIS-issued immigration documents headed abroad.
Benefit verification letters, proof-of-income letters and other SSA documents.
Anything issued by a U.S. federal agency routes through the U.S. Department of State. If the destination country is outside the Hague Convention, embassy legalization follows — we handle both. Common examples:
FBI Identity History Summary
ATF documents
DEA registrations
Federal court documents
Certificate of Naturalization
NARA naturalization records
Certificate of Non-Existence
Certificate of Arrival
IRS letters (e.g. Form 6166)
FDA Certificates to Foreign Gov.
USDA export & health certificates
SSA benefit & income letters
USPTO patent documents
USPTO trademark documents
Federal corporate filings
Docs signed before a federal officer
Don't see your document? Upload it for a free pre-check — eligibility confirmed within 24 hours.
Form first — so nothing gets shipped, paid for, or rejected on a guess.
We confirm your document is eligible before you ship — no guesswork, no rejected packages. Then send it to: DC Mobile Notary™ · 5315 Langston Blvd, Suite B, Arlington, VA 22207 — trackable courier (UPS / FedEx) recommended.
The destination country decides the last step — we run both under one roof.
The Department of State apostille is the final step — no embassy involved. Your document is ready for use abroad the day it comes back.
After federal authentication, the document continues to embassy or consulate legalization — we manage the full chain in one order.

This service is amazing! I wish I had known about it sooner. I had a document to be used abroad that needed to be notarized AND needed an apostille. It’s not so hard to find a notary but for anything more complicated, Aziz can get it done with a minimum of effort on the client’s part. He picked up the document, handled the legalizations process and returned the document to me. And in less than 24 hours! The consulate, which was my only other option had a ridiculous wait time to even get an appointment, not to mention they were going to charge me three times what Aziz did. His rates are reasonable and he is super-professional and efficient! He saved me so much time and navigated the whole process seamlessly for me. I highly recommend him and will no doubt be calling on him again in the future.
DC Mobile Notary was fantastic. Super easy to schedule and super flexible. Best prices I found as well. Danyar was quick, efficient, and super friendly. I’d absolutely use them again!
I was impressed with this company from start to finish, and I will definitely go to them again when I need a notary.First, it was super easy to set up the three appointments that I needed; the receptionist was able to confirm the appointments while I was on the phone with her. Second, the notary showed up right on time for all appointments, even in one city location during rush hour and where finding street parking was challenging. Even when I needed to change the location of one appointment at the last minute (from a Starbucks that wasn't open yet to a nearby restaurant), it was easy to reach the notary himself and work out the change with him. Third, the two notaries I dealt with were both professional in appearance and manner. Finally, company can cover DC, MD, and VA where I do business, and their price is reasonable.I'm very grateful that the paperwork went smoothly and was done properly. I'm a new fan of DC Mobile Notary.
Aziz of DC MOBILE Notary was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and reliable with regard to services we needed to authenticate educational documents for use abroad. I will no hesitate to utilize his services again. In today's world of everything automated and voice bots, Aziz was a breath of fresh air, answers calls and emails without delays and works on finding solutions for his clients. Thanks Aziz.
Real people who answer the phone, know the rules, and walk your documents through — federal, state and embassy.

About DC Mobile NotaryA federal apostille is authentication issued by the U.S. Department of State that certifies a U.S. federal document as genuine for use in Hague Convention countries. Documents from federal agencies — the FBI, NARA, USCIS, SSA, IRS, FDA, USDA, USPTO and others — can only be apostilled at the federal level, not by a state office.
Our Expedited service is completed in 9 business days and is the recommended option for most clients. Standard service takes about 3 weeks. Final timelines are confirmed after our free document review.
We recommend Expedited (9 business days) for nearly everyone — especially anyone with a deadline, a visa timeline, or a filing date. Standard (3 weeks) is a lower-cost option when your timeline is flexible. Both use the same U.S. Department of State authentication.
Start by filling out the form so we can confirm your document is eligible. Then mail your documents to our Arlington office: DC Mobile Notary™, 5315 Langston Blvd, Suite B, Arlington, VA 22207. We recommend a trackable method like UPS or FedEx. We handle the federal authentication and return your apostilled documents to you.
FBI Identity History Summaries, NARA records (naturalization, immigration, Certificates of Arrival and Non-Existence), USCIS documents such as Certificates of Naturalization, SSA letters, IRS letters including Form 6166, FDA Certificates to Foreign Government, USDA export and health certificates, and USPTO patent and trademark documents. If your document isn't listed, upload it for a free pre-check and we'll confirm eligibility.
We don't recommend it. FBI reports are federal documents and are most reliably authenticated through the U.S. Department of State. See our dedicated FBI background check apostille page for the full process.
The issuing authority determines where a document is apostilled. Documents issued by a state (birth certificates, state marriage records, notarized documents) are apostilled by that state. Documents issued by a federal agency are apostilled only by the U.S. Department of State. Sending a federal document to a state office — or the reverse — causes rejections and delays, which our free pre-check helps you avoid.
Yes. Birth certificates, marriage records, diplomas and notarized documents are apostilled at the state level — a separate process we run every day alongside the federal one. See our apostille services hub, or run a free pre-check and we'll route your document correctly.
Yes. We provide federal apostille service nationwide. No matter where your document was issued or where you live, the federal authentication happens at the U.S. Department of State in Washington — and that's where we work every business day.
For most federal documents, yes — the U.S. Department of State authenticates the original document or one bearing the issuing agency's official signature and seal. One key exception is the electronic FBI report (see below). Run a free pre-check and we'll confirm exactly what your document needs.
Yes. The electronic FBI Identity History Summary PDF is accepted for federal apostille — you can simply email us the PDF, with no need to mail anything. This is one of our most requested services; see the FBI background check apostille page for details.
Yes. If your document is going to a Hague Apostille Convention country, the U.S. Department of State apostille is the final step. If the destination is outside the Hague Convention — such as the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Vietnam, or Thailand — your document also needs embassy or consulate legalization after federal authentication. Tell us the destination country and we'll confirm the correct process.
Yes. We ship completed apostilles to any address in the United States or worldwide by trackable courier. Just include the destination address in your order.
Yes. Note «Add Certified Translation» in your form message and we'll review your document and send a quote.
