Understanding Apostilles in the District of Columbia
In Washington, D.C., obtaining an apostille can mean one of two things:
- D.C. Apostille: Issued by the D.C. government (ONCA) for documents originating within the District (D.C. agency records or D.C. notarizations).
- Federal Apostille: Issued by the U.S. Department of State (Office of Authentications) for documents originating from any U.S. Federal agency.
