Tigard residents can get documents apostilled through Pac Signing Notary’s Lake Oswego office, a short drive away, or by having a mobile notary come to them. The fee is $195 for the first Oregon document and most orders are ready in 1 to 5 business days. This is part of our Oregon apostille service.
