State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Washington
Apostilles in Washington are issued by the Washington Secretary of State through the Apostilles Program of the Corporations and Charities Division, with in-person same-day service locations in Tumwater and a newer Eastern Washington location in Cheney.
Standard processing is 15 dollars per document and typically takes 7 to 10 business days. Expedited processing adds a 100 dollar fee per 10 documents and takes 2 to 3 business days. Same-day in-person service adds a 150 dollar fee for the first 10 documents.
A personal or private document can only receive a Washington apostille after it is notarized by a Washington state notary with a full notarial certificate as required by RCW 42.45.130. State, county, and court documents must be originals or certified copies issued by a Washington government entity.
Washington apostilles and certificates are not valid for use inside the United States, and documents going to countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention may also need a federal Certificate of Authentication from the US Department of State on top of the state certificate.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from Washington applicants. USCIS requires a certified translation, meaning a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from the translator, so notarization is not needed for USCIS filings.
For a private document to receive a Washington apostille it must first be notarized by a Washington state notary with a full notarial certificate under RCW 42.45.130. A signature and seal alone are not enough.
The Washington Secretary of State does not provide notary services, so any required notarization must be completed before documents are submitted for an apostille.

Questions
Seattle questions
- Which USCIS office handles filings for Seattle residents?
- Seattle addresses are served by the USCIS Seattle Field Office at 12500 Tukwila International Boulevard, south of downtown. Most applications are filed online or by mail, and USCIS then schedules any interview or biometrics appointment for you. Any foreign language document in a filing must include a complete English translation with a signed certification of accuracy.
- Does USCIS require notarized translations in Seattle?
- No. USCIS asks for a complete English translation together with the translator's signed certification of accuracy. Notarization is not part of the federal requirement. Every Eagle Translate order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy prepared by a qualified professional translator.
- Which immigration court hears Seattle cases?
- The Seattle Immigration Court sits at 915 2nd Avenue in downtown Seattle. Detained cases in the region are heard at the Tacoma Immigration Court at 1623 East J Street. Immigration courts require certified English translations of foreign language evidence, so have your documents translated before your filing deadline.
- Do Seattle universities accept certified translations of foreign transcripts?
- Requirements vary by school and program. The University of Washington and other area schools generally ask for an English translation of any academic record not issued in English, and many programs want it prepared by a professional translation service rather than by the student. Confirm the exact format with the admissions or graduate office that will receive your documents.
- How do I get a certified translation in Seattle if Eagle Translate has no office there?
- The entire process is online, so there is nothing to visit. Upload a clear scan or photo of your document, and a qualified professional translator prepares the translation and signs the Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Delivery takes 2 to 3 business days at 24.95 USD per page of 250 words.
- I have a Spanish language birth certificate. What do I need for a Seattle USCIS filing?
- You need a complete certified English translation of the certificate, including stamps and seals. If you are a Mexican national and need a fresh copy of the record itself, the Consulate of Mexico in Seattle assists with Mexican civil registry documents. The translation itself can be completed fully online.
