Federal naturalization certificates can be apostilled two distinct ways. Both are valid — they differ in speed, cost, and what your original certificate looks like today.
We walk your original certificate into the US Department of State in Washington, DC and return the federally apostilled document.
Your certificate must be a newly issued certified copy from USCIS within the last 5 years, with the official cover letter and raised seal. Older certificates are not eligible for federal apostille.
Don't have one? Ordering a new copy from USCIS takes up to 8 months and costs $500+.
Bring or send a high-quality scan of your certificate. We create a notarized copy, attach an affidavit, and process the apostille through the state.
Older certificates, lost original cover letters, and applicants on a deadline. Confirm acceptance with your destination country if in doubt — we can advise.
Choose your path below. Both routes end with a fully apostilled certificate returned to your door.

An apostille is an authentication certificate under the Hague Convention that verifies your US Certificate of Naturalization is genuine for use in another member country — for things like dual citizenship, marriage abroad, work permits, and property purchases.
Only certificates that are newly issued certified copies from USCIS within the last 5 years, with the original cover letter and raised seal. Older certificates cannot be federally apostilled and must use the notarized-copy route.

Reordering from USCIS takes up to 8 months and costs $500+. In most cases the notarized copy route is faster — but we can only notarize from a high-quality scan, not from memory.
