Two Apostille Paths

Choose the route that fits your timeline.

Federal naturalization certificates can be apostilled two distinct ways. Both are valid — they differ in speed, cost, and what your original certificate looks like today.

Option 1 · Federal8–10 business days

US Office of Authentications

We walk your original certificate into the US Department of State in Washington, DC and return the federally apostilled document.

  • Turnaround: 8–10 business days
  • The original certificate is apostilled directly
  • Highest level of authentication for citizenship records
Strict eligibility

Your certificate must be a newly issued certified copy from USCIS within the last 5 years, with the official cover letter and raised seal. Older certificates are not eligible for federal apostille. Reordering from USCIS takes up to 8 months and costs $500+.

Option 2 · Notarized Copy5 business days

  • Turnaround: 5 business days
  • Works for any certificate — new or decades old
  • Widely accepted across Hague Convention countries
