Apostille Service in Wilsonville, Oregon

When you need someone to act for you in another country, to sell a house, manage a bank account or settle an inheritance, that country will ask for a power of attorney with an apostille. Pac Signing Notary notarizes the document and files it, from our Lake Oswego office or at your home or office in Wilsonville. The fee is $195 for the first Oregon document. See our full Oregon apostille service.

Getting a power of attorney accepted abroad

  1. Get the wording from the other country first. The lawyer, bank or notary abroad usually supplies the text, often in their language or in two languages.
  2. Do not sign it yet. You sign in front of our notary, with government photo ID.
  3. We notarize it. Oregon will only apostille a signature notarized by an Oregon notary.
  4. We file for the apostille with the Oregon Secretary of State.
  5. You send the original abroad. Most countries want the paper original, not a scan.
