State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Oregon
Apostilles for Oregon documents are issued by the Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division, at 255 Capitol St. NE, Suite 151, Salem, OR 97310.
The fee is 10 dollars per apostille. The original notarized document with a complete notarial certificate must be submitted; photocopies are not accepted. Requests can go by mail, in person in Salem, or by FedEx or UPS.
Vital records must be certified copies from the Oregon Center for Health Statistics or a county clerk. For transcripts and diplomas, the school registrar must sign a statement certifying authenticity on the record and have it notarized before the apostille.
The Secretary of State does not translate documents. Per the office's FAQ, a document must be translated and the translation notarized before the office can attach an apostille.
Oregon uses the Model Apostille Certificate of the Hague Conference on Private International Law. Typical turnaround is about 10 business days by regular mail and 2 to 3 business days via courier delivery options.
USCIS itself does not require notarized translations from Oregon applicants. Federal rules require a certified translation, meaning the translator signs a statement attesting that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate.
If a translation needs an Oregon apostille for use abroad, the translation must be notarized before the Secretary of State will attach the apostille; the state office does not translate documents itself.
When a translation is notarized in Oregon, the notary is notarizing the translator's signature on the certification statement. The notary does not vouch for the accuracy of the translation itself.
