If you’re trying to find out how to get a Certificate To Foreign Government apostille near me look no further because we only need three things from you to complete the US Certificate To Foreign Government apostille expedited service process.
First, mail us or drop off your original U.S Certificate To Foreign Government document at our office. The CFG certificate that you submit to us cannot be a photocopy or a notarized copy and you cannot fax or email us a copy of your USA Certificate To Foreign Government to federally apostille or authenticate.
You do not and cannot notarize a US Certificate To Foreign Government (CFG) document because federal apostille requirements do not require or allow this.
The United States Department of State will only accept and issue federal apostille certificates and federal authentication certificates on original US Certificate To Foreign Government documents that are physically presented to them not photocopies.
Second, mail or drop off at our office a prepaid FedEx or UPS return shipping label (we do not accept air waybills) that you can create and purchase online at FedEx.com or UPS.com from anywhere in the world without needing to have an existing account set up with them. You can also visit any UPS Store or FedEx Office location to purchase a prepaid shipping label as well.
DO NOT use the United States Postal Service (USPS) because they lose things constantly
(potentially your US Certificate To Foreign Government document) and are completely unreliable and slow.
The reason we require a prepaid return shipping label is so we can mail your U.S Certificate To Foreign Government document back to you or to wherever and whomever in the world that you want it shipped to.
On the prepaid return FedEx or UPS shipping label that you must provide us please list the senders (from) mailing address as your name/address or any U.S address because you cannot list our company name or address as the from/sender for liability reasons. Then for the receiver’s address (to) just list the name/address of where and who you want your US Certificate To Foreign Government document mailed back to.
It was taking from 3-4 weeks (fastest) to 13-14 weeks (slowest) time between 2020-2024 for the U.S State Department to process and issue federal apostille certificates and federal authentication certificates on all federal documents including US Certificate To Foreign Government documents once they were submitted to their office in Washington, DC in the post-COVID world.
The United States Department of State office publicly announced that beginning on October 1st, 2024 they will finally (thank the federal apostille gods) reopen their doors for rush apostille walk-in services after being closed to the general public for over 4 1/2 years.
The three new U.S State Department rules and federal apostille processing times start October 1st, 2024 are:
- Any person, apostille services company or apostille agent will only be able to submit 15 documents per day.
- The USDOS working days and times are now reduced to only being open Monday through Thursday 8am-9am excluding federal holidays. (Yes, the USDOS apostille office is only open to the general public 16 total hours per month!)
- Apostilled or authenticated US Certificate To Foreign Government documents can be picked up 7-9 BUSINESS DAYS after they’ve been hand-submitted to the US Department of State by any person, apostille services companies, or apostille agents.
The U.S Department of State does not give us or anyone updates of any kind so we cannot give you any type of U.S Certificate To Foreign Government order status updates once you place your order with us (welcome to the completely broken federal government system since COVID).
Only on the day the State Department finally issues a federal apostille certificate or federal authentication certificate on your US Certificate To Foreign Government will they notify us.

If you want your US Certificate To Foreign Government apostille shipped back to you or to someone else internationally (USA to another foreign country) please also provide us with a customs invoice (also called a commercial invoice).
See the two links below to download and sign the custom prefilled out for you templates that shipping companies (FedEx, UPS) will normally require you to include whenever you ship documents internationally to certain countries.
Third, you will need to download, sign, and mail or drop off at our office our rush United States Department of State (USDOS) federal apostille service order form that can be instantly downloaded by clicking on the blue federal apostille service order button at the bottom of this page.
We cannot accept or process your US Certificate To Foreign Government apostille request by mail or drop off until we receive a properly completed federal apostille order form from you.
If you will be dropping your U.S Certificate To Foreign Government document off at our office in person you must bring this completed federal apostille services order form in with you along with any other documents that you want us to rush apostille or authenticate for you.
When you arrive at our office walk up to our front lobby receptionist desk area and tell them that you have a US Certificate To Foreign Government document to drop off for Apostille Texas. Detailed directions and pictures of our office and office building are on our contact us page as well for you to view.
Please also understand your U.S Certificate To Foreign Government document will not and cannot be apostilled onsite at our office so this isn’t walk-in service.
The only legal and government entity in the U.S.A that can issue federal apostille and federal authentication certificates is the U.S Department of State office located in Washington D.C which is where we will rush file your US Certificate To Foreign Government document at on your behalf.
Lastly, we do not have these federal apostille service order forms available at our front desk receptionist area.
So if you choose to drop your US Certificate To Foreign Government off at our office please make sure to print out and bring this U.S. Department of State apostille service order form in with you or alternatively you can email us the completed State Department apostille services order form ahead of time.
