The Office of Authentications, located in Washington, DC, is a government agency that provides authentication services for a variety of documents to be used abroad. They issue both apostilles and authentication certificates, depending on the country in which the document will be used. Apostilles are for documents to be used in countries that participate in the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty, while authentication certificates are for countries that do not participate in the treaty. With a dedicated team, the Office of Authentications ensures that seals and signatures on public documents, such as birth certificates and court orders, are authenticated for use abroad. They offer mail-in services and process requests within 11 weeks from the date of receipt. Their fees are $20 per document for all services, and they are committed to providing efficient and reliable authentication services to individuals, institutions, and government agencies.Generated from the website
