Only one office issues a federal apostille: the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. We are not that office. Instead, we prepare and file your federal document with it, starting with FDA certificates.
We tell you in writing which office applies before we start
Apostille de la Haya is the trade name of Riveros International Business Corp, a private company registered in Florida. We are not the FDA, the U.S. Department of State or an embassy, and none of them endorses us.
We file federal documents that you already hold. We do not issue or request federal documents, and the Office of Authentications alone decides whether to apostille them.
You can also file directly with that office. Our fees cover the review, the request form, the follow-up and the shipping, on top of the official fee.
A plain copy or a printout without the agency seal does not meet the original signature and seal requirement.
Birth certificates and other state records get their apostille from the issuing state, not from Washington.
Requests go with Form DS-4194. A missing field or the wrong destination slows the whole file down.
For countries outside the Convention, the office issues an authentication certificate instead, and the embassy follows.
A federal document carries the signature of an official of a U.S. government agency, such as the FDA, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The Department of State’s own manual names the Office of Authentications as the competent authority for apostilles on documents that federal officials sign. It also calls for the original signature and the agency’s raised or stamped seal.
Meanwhile, state documents follow a different path. Each state’s Secretary of State applies the apostille to its own records.
Certificates to Foreign Government, CPPs and Certificates of Exportability.
For example, the ones the FDA issues for dietary supplements.
They have their own service page with every detail.
Ask us first, and we confirm in writing whether we can take it.
We look at who signed the document and which seal it carries. If it turns out to be a state record, we point you to the right state.
We complete the request form and confirm the destination, so the office knows whether to issue an apostille or, for the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt or Iraq, an authentication for legalization.
We file with the Office of Authentications and update you at each stage. Then we ship the document back with tracking.
The Office of Authentications sets its own processing time, and that time shifts with its workload. That is why we never promise a number of days.
We do control our side, though. With Express service we speed up the review, the request and the return shipping.
We apostille FDA certificates regularly, and we also handle the apostille of FBI background checks, which have their own page. If you like, we confirm the route in writing before you order.
