Tualatin Apostille Service in Oregon
Apostille Request Form
Tualatin straddles the Washington and Clackamas county line along I-5, and its industrial areas around Tualatin-Sherwood Road are home to manufacturers, food producers and distributors that ship overseas. Those companies bring us certificates of origin, invoices and signed agreements for foreign customers, along with company documents for overseas registrations.
Tualatin families are just as regular: birth certificates for passports and dual citizenship, marriage certificates for a spouse’s visa, Tualatin High transcripts for students heading abroad. Our Lake Oswego office is about ten minutes away, so most Tualatin clients drop documents off and have them back within a day or two.
Who Apostilles Tualatin Documents?
The Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division, in Salem apostilles Oregon documents for $10 each. Because Tualatin crosses a county line, the first step is getting the certified record from the right county.
County Records for Tualatin Residents
Most of Tualatin is in Washington County; the eastern edge is in Clackamas County. Records are kept by the county where the marriage license was issued or the event was recorded.
Washington County Recording (marriage records)
Washington County marriage records are kept by the Assessment and Taxation Recording Division in Hillsboro, which issues certified copies. For an apostille, the copy must show the certifying official’s printed name.
Washington County Circuit Court (divorce and court records)
Certified divorce judgments, adoption decrees and name changes come from the Washington County Circuit Court in Hillsboro.
Birth and death certificates
Washington County vital records can issue certificates for about six months after the event; later, order from the Oregon Center for Health Statistics.

How Our Tualatin Apostille Service Works
Tualatin clients usually drop documents at our Lake Oswego office.
- Call or fill in the form above at (971) 514-3743. Tell us the document and the country it is going to, and we confirm you have the right version before anything is sent.
- Get the document to us. Mail it with tracking or drop it off. Most use our Lake Oswego office: 5 Centerpointe Dr, Suite 400, Office 87, Lake Oswego, OR 97035 (Mon–Fri 9–5).
- We check it and file it. Our courier hand-carries Oregon documents to the Secretary of State in Salem; nothing goes through the state mail queue.
- We send it back to you or straight to the person abroad, with tracking.
What if the country doesn't accept apostilles?
Countries outside the Hague Convention, such as the UAE, Qatar, Vietnam and Egypt, need embassy legalization instead. We handle that chain too and quote it before we start.
