Federal Apostille vs. State Apostille
A federal apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State for documents from federal agencies (FBI, USCIS, federal courts, military, USPTO, SSA, IRS). A state apostille is issued by a state Secretary of State for state-level documents (birth certificates, marriage licenses, diplomas). Submitting a federal document to a state office — or vice versa — will result in rejection.
Federal apostilles are processed and issued by the US Department of State
Documents requiring federal authentication, such as FBI background checks, Certificates of Naturalization, and other records issued by federal agencies, must be sent directly to:
U.S. Department of State’s Office of Authentications, Authentication Officer, United States Department of State 600 19th Street NW, Washington, DC 20006
How to Get an FBI Background Check: During this process, you can ask the FBI to forward your background check to the Department of State for the Apostille.
