Newberg Apostille Service in Oregon
Apostille Request Form
Newberg sits at the north end of Yamhill County, where Highway 99W enters wine country, and its two biggest sources of apostille work are George Fox University and the wineries of the Dundee Hills. George Fox graduates take teaching, nursing and ministry positions overseas and need diplomas and transcripts a foreign government will accept; international students leaving Newberg need the same for jobs at home.
Wineries and food businesses around Newberg and Dundee need export paperwork and company documents for importers in Asia and Europe. Families need Yamhill County records, including birth certificates for babies born at Providence Newberg Medical Center. Our Hillsboro office is about 35 minutes away, and our Lake Oswego office about 25.
Who Apostilles Newberg Documents?
Newberg documents are apostilled by the Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division, in Salem, for $10 each. University documents go through a notarized registrar statement; business documents need an Oregon notarization.

Certified divorce judgments, adoption decrees and name-change orders come from the Yamhill County Circuit Court in McMinnville.

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.
