Why apostille the document in New York instead of Washington?

• If you upload a photocopy of the document we will notarize and apostille the photocopy in New York City, because the notary and apostille have to be form the same State.
• If you want an apostille from Washington, please use the apostille original document service. (left side)
• We suggest that you ask the destination country authorities if an apostille on a copy will be acceptable, in most countries is acceptable.
