Washington documents are apostilled by the Washington Secretary of State in Olympia, and Oregon documents by Oregon in Salem. Pac Signing Notary’s Vancouver office at 201 NE Park Plaza, Suite 221 handles both, so Clark County residents with paperwork from either side of the river can file in one place. A Washington apostille is $295 for the first document and $65 for each additional one, and takes about 3 weeks. For Oregon documents see our Oregon apostille services.
The state that issued the document is the one that apostilles it. Where you live now does not matter.
| Your document | Apostilled by |
|---|---|
| Born, married or divorced in Washington | Washington Secretary of State, Olympia |
| Born or married in Oregon, now living in Vancouver | Oregon Secretary of State, Salem |
| Signed in front of a Washington notary | Washington Secretary of State, Olympia |
| Diploma or transcript from a Washington school | Washington Secretary of State, Olympia |
| Washington State Patrol background check | Washington Secretary of State, Olympia |
| FBI background check | U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC |
Many of our Vancouver clients have documents from both states, such as an Oregon birth certificate and a Washington marriage certificate. We file each one with the correct state.

Washington’s rules differ from Oregon’s in a few places, which is where people get caught out.
A Washington apostille can only sit on a Washington notarization. If your document was notarized in Oregon, it goes to Oregon instead.
