Do you need to apostille your documents through the US Department of State – Office of Authentications and need to complete form DS-4194?

DS-4194 is used by the U. S. Department of State for documents submitted by U.S. citizens and foreign nationals. The Authentications Office is responsible for signing and issuing certificates under the Seal of the U. S. Department of State for documents being submitted to foreign countries.

The US Department of State – Office of Authentications is responsible for signing and issuing certificates under the Seal of the U.S. Department of State (22 CFR, Part 131) providing authentication services to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals on documents that will be used overseas (Hague Apostille Member Countries).

This office receives a variety of documents from commercial organizations, private citizens, and officials of the Federal and State governments. Documents include but not limited to: FBI background checks, FDA documents, USDA documents, Social Security Income and Benefits Statement, IRS Form 6166, US Patent and Trademark (USPTO) documents, Certificate of Free Sale, State certified documents for non-Hague countries, and more!

If you are in a rush and would like to have your documents completed in four business days plus FedEx overnight return shipping, we recommend that you mail in your documents to our Washington, D.C. apostille office for processing.  We will complete form DS-4194 and submit your documents on your behalf.

Documents received at our office by 2pm can be submitted the following business morning to the U.S. Department of State for processing.  Once complete, your documents will be dropped off at the FedEx shipping center for overnight return shipping at no additional cost. We can also ship your documents to an international address.  Additional shipping rates apply.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the Apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
