The apostille process is actually pretty simple. It is something you might consider arranging yourself as this could be a lot more convenient, and inexpensive for your client. There are services out there that will do it for you for a pretty modest flat fee. So, you can locate those services (sort of the equivalent of a messenger service – they receive your document and send it to the correct place in the correct state, etc. then get it back to you.) Or, if you need to apostille a WASHINGTON document (like a birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.) you can just follow the instructions on the state’s website:<br>
<a href="https://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/apostilles/apostille-frequently-asked-questions.aspx">https://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/apostilles/apostille-frequently-asked-questions.aspx</a><br>
<br>
If you don’t have a copy of the Washington birth/ death etc. certificate, you can order it from Vital statistics and in the same order, order and pay for the apostille.<br>
<br>
Last month, I had to secure an apostille of/on/for two federal district court orders (same case). The court clerk did it right there on the spot for me for $47.00 (plus $11.00 for certification) for each of 2 orders. She gave me a break and didn’t charge separately for each page of each order ;) The only delay was that the judge didn’t have a signature card on file for their apostille process. So they had to go get the judge’s signature on their form for that process.<br>
<br>
Your client will most probably have to secure a certified translation of the document as well. But, that is separate from the apostille process.<br>
