Federal Document Authentication · Nationwide Service
For work visas, permanent residency, adoption dossiers, teaching abroad, and dual citizenship. We handle the entire federal apostille process — and know the fastest legitimate pathways to dramatically shorten your total timeline.
Nationwide clients accepted — federal apostilles route through Washington DC, not Georgia. Your location doesn't matter.
How It Works
Federal documents don't route through the state — they go through the U.S. Department of State in Washington DC. That's a different pathway, different timeline, different rules. We know the process cold.
We review your destination country's requirements, confirm whether an FBI check plus apostille is what you actually need, and map the fastest legitimate pathway — including whether the Channeler route will save you weeks.
If you don't yet have your FBI Identity History Summary, we help you choose the fastest legitimate route to get one — days instead of the 8–12 weeks direct FBI processing typically takes.
Once your FBI check is in hand, we prepare the U.S. Department of State submission package, mail it to DC, track it, and return your apostilled document with courier delivery when time-sensitive.
The Speed Advantage
Timeline matters when your visa, adoption, or job depends on it. We know the fastest legitimate pathways.
Fully apostille-eligible either way
Standard FBI timeline. Some clients wait even longer.

Pricing
Both tiers include pre-submission review, U.S. Department of State fees ($20 per document), tracked federal mailing, and return shipping to you.

Federal timelines are set by the U.S. Department of State and can vary. We monitor your submission actively but cannot guarantee federal processing dates. Any third-party FBI check processing fees are paid separately by the client.
