Springfield Apostille Service in Oregon
Apostille Request Form
Springfield shares a county, a river and a hospital system with Eugene, and that shapes where its records come from. Many Lane County babies are born at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend or McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center, both in Springfield, so a large share of the birth certificates we apostille for local families list Springfield as the place of birth, even when the parents live elsewhere in the county.
Springfield requests also come from the city’s manufacturing and timber-products employers, who send staff and equipment abroad, and from Thurston and Springfield High graduates applying to universities overseas. Whatever the document, the steps are the same: get the correct certified copy or notarization, file it with the Oregon Secretary of State in Salem and return it. We handle those steps for you.
Who Apostilles Springfield Documents?
The Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division, apostilles Oregon public documents and notarizations for $10 each. There is no apostille office in Springfield or Lane County. The state authenticates the signature of the official or notary, which is why photocopies, hospital certificates and unsigned printouts are rejected.

How Our Springfield Apostille Service Works
Springfield clients almost always mail their documents. We check the document over the phone or by email photo first, so you only send it once.
- 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. Mail to our Hillsboro office: 9620 NE Tanasbourne Dr, Suite 300, Office 39, Hillsboro, OR 97124 (Mon–Fri 9–5, Sat 9–2).
- 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.
