How to Apostille National Archives

Do you need to apostille certified copies of your documents from the National Archives?

In order to apostille your documents, you will need to request a certified copy with the red ribbon and gold seal.  The red ribbon will be attached the certificate to the certificated copies.  Once certified, this document can be mailed in to our Washington DC apostille office so we can obtain the apostille from the US Department of State in Washington DC.

The most common certified documents we receive from the National Archives are:

  • Petition for Naturalization
  • Court Records
  • Passenger Arrival Records
  • Civil War Records
  • Military Service Records
  • Federal Court Records Older than 15 Years
  • and more!

Apostilles can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the Apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
