State rules
Apostilles and notarization in West Virginia
Apostilles in West Virginia are issued by the West Virginia Secretary of State at the State Capitol Building in Charleston, for documents going to countries in the Hague Apostille Convention.
The fee is 10 dollars for the first document certified by one official and 5 dollars for each additional document by the same official, submitted with the Apostille and Certification Request Form AC-1 and the name of the destination country.
Mail orders are generally processed within 48 business hours, and walk-in customers in Charleston are typically served within minutes, which makes West Virginia one of the faster state apostille operations.
West Virginia issues apostilles for Hague Convention countries and separate authentication certificates for countries outside the convention, so the destination country determines which certificate you receive.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from West Virginia applicants. USCIS requires a certified translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy from the translator, so a notary stamp is not needed for USCIS filings.
For a notarized document to receive a West Virginia apostille, the notary must include the full acknowledgment statement, the notary's original signature, and the notary's rubber stamp seal. A document carrying only a signature and seal without the acknowledgment statement cannot be certified.

Questions
Questions about translations for the Pittsburgh Field Office
- Will a translation from Eagle Translate be accepted here?
- Every certified translation we deliver carries the translator's signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate, which is the certification 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires for a foreign language document filed with USCIS. The officer reviewing your file decides on your evidence, and we do not speak for USCIS.
- Do I file the original document as well as the translation?
- Keep the original. A certified translation is filed alongside the foreign language document rather than in place of it, and it is common to be asked for both. The certificate names the source document it belongs to, so the two can be matched to each other.
- What happens to stamps, seals, and signatures?
- They are not dropped. Stamps, seals, signatures, and reference codes are described in bracketed form at the position they hold in the original, and the page structure is preserved, so a reviewer can set the translation beside the source document and follow it line by line.
- How is terminology from another country's legal system handled?
- A term with no exact United States equivalent is rendered to carry the meaning it has in the system that issued it, rather than swapped for an American term that would change what the document says. Where a term needs explaining, the explanation sits in brackets beside it instead of replacing it.
- A document has been asked for at short notice. How quickly can it be done?
- Certified delivery is 2 to 3 business days. Through 31 December 2026 the upgrade to Premium 1 to 2 business days delivery is applied automatically at the Certified price, so the faster option costs the same as the standard one.
- What does the certificate attest to?
- It attests to the accuracy of the translation. It states in those words that it does not attest to the authenticity of the source document or to the truth of its contents. That boundary is what makes it a certification a reviewer can rely on rather than a claim about your evidence.
